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 currently trying to make this after I pulled Baeloth from a pack, it seems like an interesting way to play. One card that I thought I definitely wanted to put in mine was Eiganjo Uprising which could potentially dump a bunch of creatures on board and if goaded, would either force your opponents to eat damage or net you more treasures

plakjekaas That's possible. But to me, Battle - Duel or Battle - Riot or Battle - Skirmish or whatever seem more like instants or sorceries, or maybe enchantments. Alpha Brawl, Spectacular Showdown, Massive Raid, these all share that flavor space (and I wish I could come up with some non-red examples off the top of my head). All of these could potentially be reprinted as story spotlights in some future set, like Renewed Faith from Onslaught to Amonkhet.

Conflict is everywhere in a game about conflict, and I'm sure I'm thinking too small, and biased by what we have now instead of what could be coming in the future. Looking at current story spotlight cards, some that I would consider as flavorfully battles are Battle at the Bridge, Battle for Bretagard (these even have Battle in the name), Eiganjo Uprising, Hostile Takeover, Hour of Glory, Mage Hunters' Onslaught, Rampage of the Clans, Storm the Citadel, and The Fall of Kroog. These can easily be thematically redesigned as battle cards.

So I'm not saying you're wrong, but those types of events just don't fit my current mental picture of a battle. That's why I said battles probably aren't a strictly necessary addition to the game--they're mechanically new and interesting, but what flavor space can they carve out for themselves? Or will they simply take over this flavor space, and we're going to see less major-combat-themed cards of other types?

Soulus101 on Isshin, Two Heavens As One - Eiganjo Uprising v1.4

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.

councilofautumn - thank you! Academy Rector is always fine but not important for the deck to function, and I keep trying to reduce the number of reserved list cards in my decks.

Jetmir, Nexus of Revels puts a win condition in the command zone and is probably a much better commander overall. However, I think I'll probably leave Samut, Voice of Dissent as the commander for now. Her haste-granting ability is still quite important for sudden death attacks with several of the token swarms, and I really enjoy the complicated untapping puzzles that arise when her activated ability becomes relevant in this deck. Damage prevention is not a problem I've personally come up against, but Skullcrack definitely seems great if that's a strategy in your local meta. You could also play Leyline of Punishment if you want to stick with the enchantment theme.

Other recent cards I'm considering for this deck: Jukai Naturalist, Witty Roastmaster, Eiganjo Uprising and Shigeki, Jukai Visionary.

I think Trespasser's Curse can find a home here. For newer cards, how about Eiganjo Uprising and Tribute to Horobi  ^Flip?
