Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Mardu combat engine led by Isshin, Two Heavens as One. The strategy focuses on curving low-mana attack trigger permanents into Isshin to double every combat trigger on the board. Token generators such as Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, and Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin flood the battlefield with attacking creatures each turn. These wide boards convert into decisive damage through life-draining payoffs like Mishra, Claimed by Gix, Arabella, Abandoned Doll, and Purphoros, God of the Forge, or through the infinite combat loop of Breath of Fury. A dense package of silence effects—including Grand Abolisher, Myrel, Shield of Argive, and Voice of Victory—locks out opposing interaction during your turn. Combined with free defensive spells like Flawless Maneuver and Deflecting Swat, plus phase-out protection from Clever Concealment and Teferi's Protection, the deck protects its lethal attacks with exceptional reliability.
