I like punching people with commanders, so i figured these 2 will be a good combination to do that.

Basis:

get out Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker as early as you can so you can so it gets its counters pretty fast, and then cast Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder once its high enough to instantly kill someone. You can use the swords to add extra power and effects to it, and protect it with a heap of counter spells and stuff, so tat way you are pretty much certain to beat people to death. theres also other creatures that have the same effect, but youll just have to get more than 21 unfortunately, but its something in case the commanders keep dying

Win Conditions

• Commander damage is really the main way youd want to win, using Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker to deal at least half the commander damage and then getting Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder in to boost the damage dealt and gain a heap of life.

• Aetherflux Reservoir can be a win con if you gain enough life through the Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder triggers on larger creatures, and with Cradle of Vitality.

Defences

• Ghostly Prison and Propaganda provide at least a little protection if you get too big of a target on your head from destroying peoples life totals

• A ludicrous amount of counter spells always works at protecting you half the time, or at least protect your creature

• Selfless Squire is just a really good card if youre getting hit hard in one go by the Prossh player or some other deck like that

Cost

I could shove a heap more super expensive things in, especially around the land base, but im just looking for something fun and mildly competitive for when i feel like a change up from my other decks like Queen of Artifacts, Sliveroni Pepperoni, Partners in draw and Braids and her maids, just so my group doesnt feel stale. but any suggestions are welcome, cause in time i might just upgrade it to the best i could.

End Note

Im treating this deck like a Narset style voltron deck, so anything thatll help protect the commander more would be great, because more equipment seems kind of pointless when Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker just gets buff so fast from your opponents, hence why i play a lot of counter spells, but i feel i could play more.
