Isamaru by Jackejita

Format: Commander

Commander: Isamaru, Hound of Konda

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Isamaru, Hound of Konda is a one-mana commander who turns every Equipment and Aura into a fast clock. The primary plan is to cast Isamaru on turn one, attach cheap or free-equipping artifacts such as Sigarda's Aid and Hammer of Nazahn, then finish with Ajani, Caller of the Pride's double strike. Secondary paths include building up other creatures with Stoneforge Mystic, Sram, or a token, and using Grafted Exoskeleton for an infect kill. Bruna and Gisela are late-game angel beaters rather than a primary plan. The deck is built around Isamaru, not a double-faced commander, and relies on heavy protection plus recursion from Open the Vaults and Sun Titan to survive wipes.
