Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Mardu combat deck helmed by Isshin, Two Heavens as One, designed to double all attack-triggered abilities of permanents you control. The strategy curves out with low-cost ramp and aggressive creatures, landing Isshin early to turn mid-game combat steps into overwhelming swings of value and direct life loss. Key engines such as Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Hero of Bladehold, and Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon rapidly generate wide boards of tapped and attacking creature tokens. Meanwhile, drain payoffs like Mishra, Claimed by Gix, Brutal Hordechief, and Commissar Severina Raine bypass traditional defenses by burning all opponents simultaneously whenever creatures attack. Combat protection from Dolmen Gate and Iroas, God of Victory ensures your attackers survive engagement with blockers, while extra-combat spells like Relentless Assault provide explosive burst finishes. The deck plays proactively, aiming to assemble an unstoppable offensive wave and close out the table by Turn 7.
