I feel like you could lean in harder to the 'tap my creatures and do stuff" effects if you wanted to?

• Adarkar Valkyrie is hilarious as you can use it to get your opponent's creatures back when they die. And if he's indestructible when he's tapped, all the better for you!
• Droning Bureaucrats is a funny political card. You could use it to your benefit or one of your opponents attacking another one of your opponents.
• Devout Invocation would be on theme here.
• Drumbellower would be fun and allow you to retap/crew every turn - or keep things tapped by just re-crewing.
• Field Surgeon (or Hair-Strung Koto allow you to keep unlimited creatures tapped with either damage protection or milling ops.
• Flight-Deck Coordinator gains life for tapped creatures and Chrome Companion or Compassionate Healer would be on theme here too.
• Hand of Justice because - who uses Fallen Empires(?) and creature destruction!
• Orphans of the Wheat gives you a way to tap all your creatures. And with Rogue's Passage...
• Rinoa, Angel Wing would be good recursion for your stuff.
• Sword of the Paruns also pumps your tapped creatures
• Endbringer is good utility on many fronts.

Maybe some more protection too like Ghostly Prison or Norn's Annex?

If you decided to go with more legendary creatures Relic of Legends could be funny as it would simultaneously ramp and allow you to keep most things tapped!

Greetings! Noticed your Help tag, and request for some general feedback ...

Biggest advice I could give -- especially if you're aiming for Bracket 4 -- is to invest a bit in your manabase for sure, and maybe in some more mana acceleration/cost reduction effects.

With a 4-mana Commander who wants to be casting multiple 3-mana spells a turn, I'd recommend 38 Lands (with as few Tap Lands as possible), 12 mana acceleration effects (costing 2-mana or less, to help power out Y'shtola on Turn 3), and 4 cost reduction effects or slow mana sources (costing 3 mana or less, to help power out 2x spells a turn starting on Turn 4).

Some possible Lands (with more options over at Managathering.com):
- Fetchable Triome: Raffine's Tower
- MDFCs: Hengegate Pathway  ^Flip, Clearwater Pathway  ^Flip, Brightclimb Pathway  ^Flip, and maybe Waterlogged Teachings  ^Flip (not sure if it's worth it as the Land side enters Tapped)
- Missing Fetch Lands: Marsh Flats, Flooded Strand
- Missing Battlebond Lands: Sea of Clouds, Vault of Champions

Possible Fast Mana sources:
- Fellwar Stone
- Thought Vessel
- Mox Amber and Mana VaultGC (worth mentioning, even if they're too spendy)

Possible Cost Reducers/Slow Mana Sources:
- Lyse Hext
- Alisaie Leveilleur
- Grand Arbiter Augustin IVGC (I know he's 4 mana, but he's really good)
- Relic of Legends
- Bender's Waterskin

Good luck (and good skill!) with Y'shtola!
Cheers!

DreadKhan It doesn't really apply here, but convoke (and similar effects) with that would be a good option. Fallaji Wayfarer, We Ride at Dawn, Dazzling Theater / Prop Room, Peri Brown, Earthcraft, Cryptolith Rite, and Relic of Legends come to mind.

Have you considered Springleaf Drum and/or Relic of Legends? I know you already have Paradise Mantle, but they act as a sort of backup plan for ramp if you don't draw it (and can tap other creatures for mana as well).

I know its been awhile but once duskmourn came out i saw these two beauties. Kona, Rescue Beastie works great with this deck and works well with Relic of Legends . The other i would put in is Nashi, Searcher in the Dark . I also if you wish to is take out the Ornithopter and put in Sylvan Caryatid . Having a mana dork with hexproof and at same mana cost is a big upside.

Hey thanks for putting in all the work researching and optimizing this deck, I used it as a basis for an Isshin deck of my own. Here's a few things I uncovered: Sword of the Animist benefits from Isshin's double activations, which is pretty insane mana ramp. Kaya the Inexorable can protect Isshin from exile, I'm also using it with Nahiri's Resolve to force 1/1 token flyers each turn. Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit also benefits from Nahiri's, although granted it wouldn't be as useful here. Etali, Primal Storm double activation is insane with Isshin. Also went for some legendary shenanigans: Gimli of the Glittering Caves (also benefits from Nahiri's) Gloin, Dwarf Emissary, Mangara, the Diplomat, Mirror of Galadriel, Relic of Legends, and some other minor tweaks. There's 25 legendary creatures in my version, so the Mirror and Relic will definitely get some value.

I know that's way too much to consider to add here, just wanted to add my 2 cents and thank you for doing the legwork.

This seems a bit more like a multicolour human legends (of LotR) deck than a +1 counter / token deck. That's not a problem, it's a lot more fun to play, but it may help you tighten things up if you build more into this theme.

One of the obvious additions consider that is Relic of Legends, possibly Inga and Esika (though they're not LotR) and We Ride at Dawn. You're running a lot of high mana cards and it will help you get them down. Herald's Horn will really help with not only some card draw, but shaving off 1 of all your creatures will help you cast more, which triggers your commander. Heroes' Podium is similar but can be a little expensive (though will make all your creatures strong). Mirari's Wake is an old standard as well, mana doubling is just good.

Flowering of the White Tree is also good considering all your legendaries, but I see it's in your maybe board already.

You also have a lot of triggered abilities all over the place so Annie Joins Up would work very well, as would any other trigger multiplier.

No judgement-- this looks like a great deck. I personally don't see the hype with Ancient Cornucopia. It seems like a run-of-the-mill Manalith but costs a green mana and you will prob gain 2 life each turn. Standard has Relic of Legends, Bandit's Haul, Sunbird Standard  ^Flip, etc. I'm not saying that these are strictly better, but I am genuinely wondering why it's so popular.
