Crow_Umbra Thank you, I am enjoying curating this list and appreciate the input and card suggestions.

• The higher land count is intentional, though the number is muddied even more considering Glacial ChasmGC and Maze of Ith as well as the couple modal dual faced cards in the deck. I tend to avoid mana rocks and instead lean on high land counts to never missing a land drop while having flexible color fixing to play proactive cards for the game plan. I would appreciate 2 more slots in the deck, however I have not found a proactive mana ramp spell I would want to play other than Talon Gates of Madara. Any suggestions?

• I'm glad you mention the mana curve, it has been a point of debate for myself. Some of the heavy hitters have not seen play while lower mana value cards have had the chance to shine. As much as I love Archon of Cruelty... Patron of the Kitsune is likley going to stay. Oddly I have found myself avoiding casting Tempt with Vengeance and Eiganjo Uprising; which might be related to ramp in this deck. The 3 mana slot is something I am currently looking to trim as well while keeping some of the charm of something like Hissing Miasma.

• Seifer, Balamb Rival and Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser are great suggestions and I particularly like Squall, Gunblade Duelist. I can see fun build around Squall and he will likely find a place for him in this deck with a couple cuts.

I appreciate the feedback as this is my first goad deck. I had not seen Isshin built in this way before and have had fun the couple of games I have had with it.

I’m not going to go too crazy, because I don’t know what the budget is. But, Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth would allow you to open up to having quite a few more utility lands.

Other Cool Lands:

Strip Mine

Maze of Ith

Rogue's Passage

Deserted Temple – this would let you be able to double either Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx or Gaea's CradleGC

This looks nutty and fun to play

that being said I think Words of Worship, Honor the Fallen, Y'shtola Rhul, Ruin Crab, Swiftfoot Boots could be cut in favor of some more raw lifegain. You already have a ton of protection and counters so I'm not worries about losing boots. I would consider cards like Drogskol Reaver, Rhox Faithmender, Suture Priest, The Wind Crystal, and a few more lands. Maze of Ith doesnt count so you are really only running 33 which is way too lean

overall super cool deck tho

I see. You just mean to keep the commander alive. I would run Maze of Ith but I don't want to draw it and lose mana on a turn. This deck is all about speed.

Ah so you caught the Obelisk of Undoing/Bolas's CitadelGC/Aetherflux Reservoir synergy with my infinite mana generation? I may actually add Hall of the Bandit Lord. Not sure what you mean about Maze of Ith. The boast ability can only be used once per turn.

+1 4 dat Obelisk of Undoing haha

Hall of the Bandit Lord fixed by Urborg.

Maze of Ith I think this is combat trickery with Boast. Also fixed by Urborg.

Oh, perhaps unintentionally but thanks allot!

I have only been uploading this list from my deck to tappedout yesterday late night and Collision / Colossus is not included with my paper version haha.. But i was a bit puzzled why had 100 cards in this list but ended up with a lonely Maze of Ith sitting at the corner of my desk after i cleaned everything up.

Collision / Colossus is not legal no..

I will make some more changes soon as i have a pile with potential cards still to work out. e.g. Selective Obliteration, Obsidian Charmaw and i'm still debating whether or not i should include Imperial Recruiter and an extra land.

I have only been uploading this list from my deck to tappedout yesterday night and Collision / Colossus is not included with my paper version haha.. Now i understand why i had 100 cards in this list but ended up with a lonely Maze of Ith sitting at the corner of my desk after i cleaned everything up. Thanks!
