Crow-Umbra on Isshin, Two Heavens as One

Congrats on those games. Must have felt good to hold your own and win against some high-octane decks.

I think your swap ideas are pretty spot on. I cut Search the Premises and most of the other stax-y pillow fort effects fairly early on; Search the Premises was one of the first to be cut though. It felt very clunky and kind of counterintuitive to want to dissuade attacks, but still want some attacks to go my way to make a Clue or two. It felt like a lot of hoops to jump through for 1 card.

I've really enjoyed Mishra in my Isshin deck, but didn't bother adding the Dragon Engine. I think the Haste enablers will be a better fit for your deck right now, unless you re-tool to lean more into a token go-wide strategy.

If you decide to retool to go wider, you could probably cut a couple top-end creatures or pillow fort enchantments, and add Commissar Severina Raine and a couple of Impact Tremors effects to round out your group slug package you already have in your 99 with Hellrider and Brutal Hordechief.

Changeling Titan and Changeling Berserker are big hamsters.

Anything with Bestow gives more damage to the sac and you get the Bestow creature back afterwards. They would help out Halana and Alena, Partners also.

Ulvenwald Tracker or fight cards would let you fight and then sac the wounded creature for full damage.

Impact Tremors is hilarious for the hamster-based damage but may not be useful enough. I would cut that one.

Nessian Boar and Grothama, All-Devouring are cheap 10 damage creatures.

Cool to see a more Myriad focused Isshin deck. I think yours might be the first I've seen with that focus.

To compliment the Impact Tremors in your 99, and depending on your budget, I'd recommend adding Witty Roastmaster and/or Purphoros, God of the Forge. Purphoros has helped me win a few games when paired with all the token creation.

Tocasia's Welcome can also be a draw engine with all your token cretion. Tenuous Truce can also be a draw piece since the Myriad tokens are never declared as attackers.

Delina, Wild Mage could be a fun add to copy a Myriad creature.

Cool deck! Hope you have fun with it irl

Lhunthane on Birgi

Hey here is some thoughts I have on the deck. The comments are through the lens of trying to be very competitive.

With Birgi, the strongest win condition is storming out and clapping all of your opponent's cheeks in one fell swoop. The best way to achieve this is comboing out as opposed to going for a lot of chip damage. Chip damage by its very nature takes time and is hard to make work in a competitive meta (maybe in some form of stax it could work). Your deck list appears to have its foot in both doors which is fun and cool, but ultimately reduces the overall lethality of the deck.

The problem with mono-red as a top-tier EDH colour is that it is very limited in tutors, which makes it difficult to find your win conditions consistently. To overcome this, a player needs to put in a few win conditions and the ability to dig for them in the deck. You really are on the right track I think with all the cantrip and impulse draw spells. Dragon's Rage Channeler filters like a champ in this deck, and synergizes very well with Past in Flames and Underworld Breach

You have Grapeshot which is great, but if you were to also throw in an Aetherflux Reservoir and Manaform Hellkite you would be set up. Grinning Ignus with Birgi, God of Storytelling  ^Flip gives you infinite storm. Add a Ruby Medallion to turn this into infinite mana, and a Impact Tremors or Altar of the Brood for an additional win con. Also quite funny with Sunbird's Invocation. You can tutor for the Ingus pretty reliably with Imperial Recruiter and Flamekin Harbinger.

---

So I realize this is turning into a small essay so I'll try to keep it a little briefer.

If you take the path of trying to combo, some cuts I'd make because they either are clunky, work towards a different win con, or just don't generate a ton of value are: Insurrection Captain Lannery Storm Quakebringer Toralf, God of Fury  ^Flip Blindblast Traitorous Blood Experimental Frenzy

If you are going to all-in commit to just combing off with ingus (which I think you should) also consider cutting: Sulfuric Vortex Stigma Lasher Solphim, Mayhem Dominus Torbran, Thane of Red Fell Mechanized Warfare

I can talk on and on and on about theory for this deck so just hit me up if you want more insight. You know what you're doing, so obviously ignore me if this "deck primer" doesn't suit you at all!

Sweet deck! Isshin has received a lot of cool tech in the past year since he's been printed. I'd recommend checking out some of the following cards that I've really liked for my Isshin deck, as you have a lot of the other stuff I would've recommended:

• Scapegoat - Cheap board protection effect, especially great with all your creature tokens

• Clever Concealment - A more budget Teferi's Protection, the Convoke is easily achievable.

• Soul Partition - Helpful versatility as either a removal piece, or as a protection effect for one of your own permanents.

• Commissar Severina Raine - Another drain effect to round out with Brutal Hordechief and Hellrider. Is also a slightly worse Skullclamp

• Skyhunter Strike Force - A lower to the ground Adriana, Captain of the Guard. Can also stack the Melee triggers with her.

• Otharri, Suns' Glory - The token production can balloon fairly quickly, and it has the potential to recur itself.

The following suggestions are less budget-friendly, but certainly pack a punch:

• Skullclamp - Great if you are making plenty of small creature tokens

• Mishra, Claimed by Gix  ^Meld - An additional group slug drain piece that rewards you for attacking with a big board

• Myrel, Shield of Argive - Helps protect your attacking board from instant speed removal, and also produces a ballooning amount of tokens if not dealt with.

• Purphoros, God of the Forge - This replaced Marton Stromgald in my Isshin deck. Being able to burn your opponents with creature ETBs has helped me win games, especially if I'm pumping out lots of tokens. Impact Tremors is also great.

I hope these suggestions are helpful, and I hope you are enjoying Isshin in your IRL games. I'd be happy to chat if you would like some additional suggestions or feedback.

Nice deck! You have a really solid creature core. If you are considering any swaps, the following are some cards I've had fun with in my Isshin deck:

• Scapegoat - Awesome budget board protection effect.

• Soul Partition - Can be a protective effect or removal

• Clever Concealment - Basically a budget Teferi's Protection

• Plumb the Forbidden - Great for drawing & chucking creature tokens into

• Breena, the Demagogue - Fun political piece & draw engine. She makes games much more communicative & interactive.

• Purphoros, God of the Forge & Impact Tremors can round out your suite of damage dealing options, especially since you already have Hellrider, Mishra, Hordechief, & Severina.

• Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant - Helpful for draw & goading threats around the board.

• Otharri, Suns' Glory - Does a lot of work as a token producer.

Hope these suggestions are helpful. Best of luck & hope you have fun with Isshin.

No prob Thor-33, glad the suggestions were helpful. I hope the deck continues to smooth out for you as you play test more.

I'm happy to see you have Hammers of Moradin in deck, as it is a card that I've really enjoyed in my Isshin deck. It's one of my favorite turn 3 creatures. Since you have it and a few other Myriad creatures, I'd recommend checking out Impact Tremors, (assuming it fits under your budget).

Best of luck with Isshin, he's a lot of fun.
