Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an aggressive Mardu attack-trigger tribal deck helmed by Isshin, Two Heavens as One, built to double every "whenever this attacks" trigger across a dense suite of creatures, equipment, and token engines. The primary plan is to deploy Isshin early, then chain attack-trigger creatures like Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, and Caesar, Legion's Emperor to generate an overwhelming token swarm, while Aurelia, the Warleader provides extra combat phases that re-fire every doubled trigger. Equipment like Sword of the Animist and Bitterthorn, Nissa's Animus ramp lands on attack, and haste enablers like Fervor and Anger let the board swing immediately. The deck wins through combat damage - either a wide token army or a tall commander with Raphael, the Nightwatcher's double strike - with a solid recursion subtheme via Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate, Otharri, Suns' Glory, and Guardian Scalelord.
