Michigone on Isshin Assault

1 year ago

Hi lyconnn! Glad to see another Isshin initiate on here. I took a very quick cursory glance over the deck, and I had a few recommendations. Some of your cards lean into the solo attacker style (and I've seen some very cool deck builds in that space), while a lot of your creature cards make tons more tokens on attack. I feel like most of the time you're drawing Angelic Benediction, Angelic Exaltation, etc. you're probably wanting to attack multiple opponents or at least with multiple creatures, which might make those cards dead draws. Those slots might be better served with things that give your creatures the melee ability, which I find to be phenomenal in my Isshin build. Something like Skyhunter Strike Force is absolutely bananas, as melee is an attack trigger. So if you attack 3 opponents with Isshin and Skyhunter out, each of your creatures would get +3/+3 twice, or +6/+6 overall, which is an incredible boost. Hammers of Moradin is also a great potential replacement for something like Angelic Benediction, as myriad is a combat trigger (so you'll make two tokens attacking the opponent you didn't originally choose with Hammers), and you'll get to tap down two creatures for each opponent, clearing the way a little better for an attack. Finally, I eventually got rid of Audacious Thief, because without Isshin on the field, it is a worse Phyrexian Arena, a card which has become slightly deprecated because the format has better options now. If you want the card draw, I really like Chivalric Alliance, as it provides draw and potential token production.

Anyway, that's just a few suggestions. Thanks, and have fun kicking butt with Isshin!

Maybe on the board protection Crow-Umbra. If the deck ends up being aggro enough I might not need them. As for Angelic Exaltation and Ilharg, the Raze-Boar seshiro_of_the_orochi they’re cards to consider but I’m also being mindful of my curve considering how it’s positioned now.

If you're looking for another enchantment, Angelic Exaltation is a bonkers powerful way to have Isshin deal lethal commander damage. Also, how about Ilharg, the Raze-Boar to drop two creatures with Isshin?

KBK7101 on Isshin, Two Heavens As One - Eiganjo Uprising v1.3

I had a few Revenge of Ravens type effect in my initial draft of this deck, but ended up taking all of them out in favor of more aggro stuff. Angelic Exaltation is another one that I removed in favor of more go-wide effects. One of the reasons Isshin is so great is because he's so wide open. A forced combat/goad/pillowfort/politics theme is definitely possible!

Inkshield is already in the deck. :P

As much as my lifegain loving heart loves Linden, the Steadfast Queen, I think the triple-white cost is a bit too much for three color manabases. That being said, she does seem like a good inclusion to offset the inevitable backlash from other players that I've attacked. Added to maybeboard!

Paladin Class isn't something I thought of before, but it seems like it might work. Gonna have to add that one to the maybeboard, too. Thanks!

I love a good token deck, and Isshin seems like fun! Have you considered playing more into doubling triggers on your opponent's attacks? Revenge of Ravens is a very good Propaganda-type effect for Isshin. You could then lean into Eiganjo Uprising or Genesis Chamber and goad/force-attack effects, with cards like Goblin Spymaster, Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant, Kardur, Doomscourge, Vengeful Ancestor, Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer.

In terms of protection spells, Inkshield seems like a great effect in this deck.

Paladin Class seems a good fit. protection from spells on your turn, an anthem, and a massive double-boost on the last effect. And Linden, the Steadfast Queen also seems like a strong effect to maintain your life total while your team is tapped down. Angelic Exaltation is an all-in Exalt effect that lets you get in for a lot of damage with one creature, should the need arise.

Baron_Pretzels on Mardu Samurai Tribal

PyroPenguinss you may want to stick with your theme of attacking/Samurai Tribal. With that said I suggest cutting cards that don't fit with that like Junji, the Midnight Sky or Skeletal Scrying. You should also cut Invoke Calamity because this deck is more creature based.

Some more attack trigger suggestions: Fervent Charge, Angelic Exaltation, and Ironsoul Enforcer.

Nemesis Mask seems to be one of the few possibilities in fitting CI.

Without a connection to the question: Definitely do not forget to include Angelic Exaltation. That card is insane in Samurai-tribal.

IHATENAMES on Saprolings of the Steel Legion

Few ideas some janky. Some decent.

Rumor Gatherer card selection/draw

Beast Whisperer card draw

Ashling's Prerogative very good with Tanya and token.

Betrothed of Fire buff tanya

Scale Up over run type effect that can be used early.

Cathars' Crusade buff your board on etb.

Good-Fortune Unicorn simular to crusade a bad one. But on a creature.

Basri's Lieutenant makes tokens for rebuild after boardwipe . Also combos with cathar crusade and a sac outlet.

Grand Crescendo protection token maker.

Sublime Archangel a better version of the enchament. Angelic Exaltation Because it's on a creature

Juniper Order Ranger buff itself and etb creatures to include tokens.

Basri Ket launch the fleet effect. With protection for a commander to get in.

Second Harvest token doubler.

I would also suggest at least one Xtra combat spellResponse / Resurgenceperhaps?

Without an eldrazi to tutor I'm not a fan of the From Beyond

I'd definitely put in more ramp. A Sakura-Tribe Elder 2 each Signet or talismans. You have some fun but perhaps clunky at times cards like Tilonalli's Summoner that's wants to be an early drop but doesn't provide much before you have a boardstate. I tried it before but eventually I cut her. Mycoloth as well. Sac your board to double it in 2 turns if it survives. Seems alot to ask. Too glass cannon like.
