I think you have the beginnings of a decent Isshin deck here, but could make some minor & inexpensive adjustments to help focus it a bit more.

When making adjustments to your creature base, I'd recommend generally removing anything like Cliffhaven Sell-Sword that doesn't really have any abilities, or Sky-Blessed Samurai, which doesn't really fit with your theme.

Isshin lives primarily in combat, so you'll want to focus on attack triggers if possible. Here are a few relatively inexpensive attack trigger creatures that I like, some of which I run in my Isshin deck:

• Vicious Conquistador/Pulse Tracker - Can help you get damage in to the entire table.
• Skyknight Vanguard
• Zhentarim Bandit - The neat part is the trigger is a "may" ability, so you can choose to use it or not.
• Coastline Marauders - Hits heavily
• Hammers of Moradin - Helps open up boards as it swings
• Squee, Dubious Monarch
• Elturel Survivors - a cousin of Coastline Marauders
• Tori D'Avenant, Fury Rider - She buffs up your team and also helps push damage through, and untaps some to keep blockers up.

Vigilance Anthems are also super helpful for keeping your board swinging aggressively, but staying untapped for blocks. A few I really like:

• Serra's Blessing

• Brave the Sands

Hope this helps!
