Marton Stromgald
Legendary Creature — Human Knight
Whenever Marton Stromgald attacks, other attacking creatures get +1/+1 until end of turn for each attacking creature other than Marton Stromgald.
Whenever Marton Stromgald blocks, other blocking creatures get +1/+1 until end of turn for each blocking creature other than Marton Stromgald.

In a similar vein as Ancestor Dragon, could I stack the myriad triggers with the attack trigger of Marton Stromgald so that the tapped and attacking tokens ETB before Stromgald's trigger resolves, having the tokens get included in the creature total for Stromgald?

The Jeskai version of Kamiz, Obscura Oculus. I agree with you, human tribal is the wrong direction. Value off unblockability is the way to go. Infect/toxic if you want to be evil :)
Blinding Angel is epic. Glad to see this old rare in your list. Auto include no matter which strategy you chose for Aragon.
Marton Stromgald speeds up the aggro clock similar to infect/toxic.
Battle Angels of Tyr deep value.
Sun Titan or Inferno Titan repeatable value.
Cephalid Constable really fits the theme.
Flamerush Rider similar to Tilonalli's Skinshifter

Sweet deck! Isshin has received a lot of cool tech in the past year since he's been printed. I'd recommend checking out some of the following cards that I've really liked for my Isshin deck, as you have a lot of the other stuff I would've recommended:
-
Scapegoat - Cheap board protection effect, especially great with all your creature tokens
-
Clever Concealment - A more budget Teferi's Protection, the Convoke is easily achievable.
-
Soul Partition - Helpful versatility as either a removal piece, or as a protection effect for one of your own permanents.
-
Commissar Severina Raine - Another drain effect to round out with Brutal Hordechief and Hellrider. Is also a slightly worse Skullclamp
-
Skyhunter Strike Force - A lower to the ground Adriana, Captain of the Guard. Can also stack the Melee triggers with her.
-
Otharri, Suns' Glory - The token production can balloon fairly quickly, and it has the potential to recur itself.
The following suggestions are less budget-friendly, but certainly pack a punch:
-
Skullclamp - Great if you are making plenty of small creature tokens
-
Mishra, Claimed by Gix Meld - An additional group slug drain piece that rewards you for attacking with a big board
-
Myrel, Shield of Argive - Helps protect your attacking board from instant speed removal, and also produces a ballooning amount of tokens if not dealt with.
-
Purphoros, God of the Forge - This replaced Marton Stromgald in my Isshin deck. Being able to burn your opponents with creature ETBs has helped me win games, especially if I'm pumping out lots of tokens. Impact Tremors is also great.
I hope these suggestions are helpful, and I hope you are enjoying Isshin in your IRL games. I'd be happy to chat if you would like some additional suggestions or feedback.

Your deck looks pretty solid. I do have a few recommendations for potential swaps that might be of interest:
-
Signal Pest or Accorder Paladin could both be potential swaps with Intrepid Adversary. Paying at least when you cast it for your creatures to only get +1/+1 isn't super ideal. Signal Pest and Accorder Paladin will both stack their Battle Cry triggers, along with the Hero of Bladehold that you already have in your 99.
-
Skyhunter Strike Force could be a potential swap with Adriana, Captain of the Guard, or maybe something else in your 99, since each Melee anthem will stack, and your creatures could potentially get +12/+12 with Strike Force, Adriana, and Isshin on board if you're attacking 3 opponents.
-
Delina, Wild Mage has a pretty high ceiling, since the tokens she creates are not Legendary. She replaced Marton Stromgald in my Isshin deck, as he is a bit more fragile in comparison.
-
I see you have Fervor in your maybe board. I'd recommend adding that and Ogre Battledriver as additional Haste anthems to round out what you already have with Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots. This will help especially for your higher CMC creatures to attack the same turn they drop, instead of waiting a turn rotation and leaving them more vulnerable to removal.
I hope these suggestions were helpful. If you haven't played this deck irl yet, you should be in for a fun time.

Marton Stromgald is a decent swap Michigone. I'd also recommend checking out Delina, Wild Mage as another potential swap with Marton. The tokens she creates aren't Legendary.
I'd also recommend Grave Titan as a potential swap with Sun Tian. Creates tokens on both ETB & attack, if that's something you'd like.
In case you haven't seen them, there are a few new creatures in All Be One main & commander sets that are worth a look at:
-
Skyhunter Strike Force: a mini Adriana, Captain of the Guard, with Flying to boot.
-
Neyali, Suns' Vanguard: double strike anthem for creature tokens, & can dig 2-6 cards on impulse draws with Isshin out.
-
Otharri, Suns' Glory: Has Haste & flying, & can potentially be recurred.

After looking at my deck list, I've realized that the deck functions highly around creatures getting their attack triggers doubled, which is obvious. What's not so obvious is that almost all the creatures are four cmc or above, which means Sun Titan doesn't really grab me back much value in terms of what the deck needs to win. It's really just a lot of artifacts that are ramp related. So with that in mind, I'm cutting Sun Titan and putting in Marton Stromgald. I think this will help with combat and reduce my curve which was a recommendation from Crow-Umbra and is good practice when making a deck that's more aggro. I also really want to put Karlach, Fury of Avernus back in, as even just the one additional combat is fantastic for the deck and proc-ing triggers.

This a cool deck! I've been looking into building Marton Stromgald and seeing your deck gave me some ideas. Have you considered using Mass Hysteria and Bedlam in this deck? Seems like they could be pretty good.
