Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Mardu attack-trigger deck helmed by Isshin, Two Heavens as One, who copies every trigger caused by a creature attacking. The list feeds that ability from three angles: extra combats via Aurelia, the Warleader, Karlach, Fury of Avernus, and Raph & Leo, Sibling Rivals; go-wide tokens from Adeline, Resplendent Cathar and Hero of Bladehold; and an Equipment suite that turns attackers into card and mana engines. Isshin, Two Heavens as One is only three mana to cast and recast, but he is the multiplier, not the win condition - the 99 still equips, makes tokens, and takes extra combats if he is removed. The compact backup is Helm of the Host on Aurelia, the Warleader for infinite combats. Secondary clocks include Lightning, Army of One's stagger and voltron threats like Cloud, Planet's Champion. The deck is a proactive combat machine that wants to attack every turn and pile on extra combats until the table is gone.
