Hail Caesar - …...
#2
Caesar would trigger an additional time from Isshin, & you would have to sac another creature for the 2nd trigger. The attack trigger based creatures & enchantments you do have are All Stars in Isshin, so giving them a little extra juice couldn't hurt. I do agree with you Merk-A-Do, you might need a few more attack triggers if you wanted to make the most of Isshin.
Regardless, Isshin is still worth a consider since at the very least, he will always be able to work with Caesar. Given his versatility, Caesar can snowball in the 99 of token producing Isshin decks. Caesar & Isshin decks have a decent amount of overlap in terms of token producers & group slug, but I think Caesar decks tend to lean more aristocrats.

I'm not sure if the revealing has any effect on the binned cards being accessible via Coram's last ability, but Hermit Druid could be a means to quickly fill up your yard. Since you're running 7ish basics, you might only need an activation or two to be set.

Lion Umbra and Dog Umbra bring me a couple of steps closer to Crow Umbra being a reality lol. Maaaaybe by Modern Horizons 5. Time to start pestering Mark Rosewater on Tumblr.
In regards to Ocelot Pride, you do need to gain life for its entire paragraph end step trigger text lol.

The thought of swinging an unblocked 0/5 Coram, then Entomb-ing any big beater is pretty hilarious. Besides Brawn & Anger, I'm interested in if most Coram decks will use Voltron & anthem components to make commander damage consistently viable. Fling & Tainted Strike are also kinda cheeky options with the big beaters in these decks.

You and I seem to be on such similar wavelengths when it comes to brewing lol. I also started brewing Coram recently, but took a break to make some MH3/M3C updates to existing decks.
I'm digging what you have so far! I def had some slightly different options for beaters, like Death's Shadow, Malignus, & Yargle and Multani. I also play in a meta with plenty of aggro beatdown, so I don't think I'd be short for options.

Thanks for the recommendations KayneMarco. I actually have 2 copies of Revel in Riches, but I have them in my Burakos and Vraska decks respectively as alt win-cons. I figured Revel in Riches might get a bit more mileage in those decks since their creatures are a bit on the smaller side. I definitely considered it for this deck, but opted for some of the X spells instead.
This deck is more so a quick successor to my old Windgrace deck (not really my playstyle after a few games) and my Prosper deck, so I threw it together with what I had on hand. Not sure if I'll keep this deck around for long term, since it has some overlap with my Goro-Goro and Satoru deck, in terms of wanting to play Haste-y stuff, and also has overlap with the aforementioned Burakos & Vraska decks with the Treasure synergy.
I don't currently own a copy of Old Gnawbone, and since I'm unsure if I'll keep this deck long-term, I'm not really sure I'd want to invest in a copy at the moment. Proxying is definitely an option in my play-group.

Lol Caerwyn, you and I gave very similar responses. Glad to see we're on a similar wavelength.

"Also, why do people like cute things? Is there no audience for dark, edgy, grim, and gritty stories and media?"
Why do people like puppies, kittens, babies, chibi-stylized things? Why do people like edgy, grim, & gritty things? Cute and reviling things tickle different enjoyment portions of our brains. We are not 1-dimensional beings, we can like a variety of different things across a palate spectrum of tastes.
We've already had plenty of Dark and Grim settings in MtG, even just in the past year: Warhammer 40K Universes Beyond (The Grim Dark franchise), Fallout UB, the entirety of Phyrexia: All Will be One, and the upcoming Duskmourn: House of Horror set coming out later this year. We've had plenty of dark, grim, and edgy, and will continue to get more in the not too distant future. Give me my fluffy anthropomorphic change of pace.

I forgot that Lorwyn/Shadowmoor didn't have humans. I guess this is the first plane without humanoid species.
We have planes like Zendikar, with floating rock formations and ever-shifting geography, so I think a plane with intelligent & anthropomorphic animals isn't out of the question. Sure, animals on Earth don't have capacity for human-like intelligence, but this is a magical fantasy franchise, so we have plenty of creative wiggle room to work with lol.
As others have mentioned, series like Redwall are already fairly popular.
Cute sells and is popular. Don't like it, then don't buy it, simple as. Personally, I hope Bloomburrow is a success. I hope more of the immediate future of MtG is spent exploring new planes, or revisiting ones that haven't been revisited in a mainstream set yet, like Tarkir & Lorwyn/Shadowmoor in the coming year or two. Put Ravnica, Zendikar, Dominaria, & Innistrad in storage for a while.

You hit on one of the points I missed, legendofa, but I'm also looking forward to the lighter tone. This set feels like it should be a nice palete cleanser from the tone of recent sets, but especially before the horror stuff in Duskmourne.
I hadn't really considered as much before, but to Gidgetimer's point, I kinda wonder if we'll get more fursona-fied versions of known Legendaries via Omenpaths.

At least for me, the handful of reasons I'm excited for Bloomburrow:
-
Totally new plane, so a fresh slate for us to get to know.
-
I think most people like cute animals to some degree. A more cutesy take on anthropomorphic animals as opposed to humanoid versions should be fun.
-
The animals are allegedly going to be centered on 2 color identities like the Ravnican Guilds.
-
First MtG planes that isn't going to have any Humans. I'm always down for a departure into new territory.
-
I'm personally looking forward to Legendary Raccoons (I know the Gruul precon will have a Raccoon commander), Legendary Crows, possums, foxes, & a platypus if possible. More than anything, I'd like a Legendary Raccoon or crow as a commander.

#1You are more or less correct Merk-A-Do. The sequencing is basically:
Isshin & Caesar are excellent support pieces in each other's 99s.
