Arcades, a friend of mine made a Trump proxy joke to helm his deck.

Slaughter the Strong is a cheap and good boardwipe. And as a bonus, sacrifice gets around indestructable or regeneration.

Here are a few defender cards I thought of later on, in case you are interested. I would be interested to see you put the deck together. If you put it together on this website you can test it out!

List:
Overgrown Battlement
Axebane Guardian
Vent Sentinel
Blight Pile
Also, just some cards to help you from removal because that will be how your opponent's will try to get past your defenses.
Make a Stand
Blinding Fog
Dovin's Veto
Render Silent

Solid updates! Olá da Califórnia! Eu gostaria de estar no Carnaval em vez de estar trabalhando na próxima semana haha.

My last couple suggestions for this deck:

• If you're looking for a board wipe alternative to Dusk / Dawn, I'd recommend Slaughter the Strong or Retribution of the Meek. Dusk is kinda awkward since it still kills Alesha, & Dawn is also kinda clunky because it returns all your stuff to hand, except Alesha.

• If you need a mass reanimation spell, I'd recommend Living Death since it can also double as a board wipe, or Lich-Knights' Conquest which is kinda like a more surgical, but narrow Living Death. Lich-Knight's Conquest might be a bit harder to pull off in this deck, since you run some but not a lot of creature token creation.

I'll take a look at your Judith deck a bit later & see if there are any suggestions I can think of. Other than that, your revisions here are looking good!

Some suggestions:

Excavated Wall

Fortified Rampart

Orator of Ojutai

Wall of Tanglecord

Slaughter the Strong

Flumph also makes the game a bit more fun

There's also the possibility to use Hold the Gates if you wished to swamp out some basics for some gates

They're not full wipes, but Slaughter the Strong and Promise of Loyalty for White.

A bit more niche, but Dead of Winter is basically a Toxic Deluge for Black adjacent Snow utilizing strategies.

Reconnaissance is such a great card in this deck, glad you're finally giving it a try. I see you already have Gruesome Realization in the 99. I recently had a game a couple of weekends ago where a friend played his Krenko, Mob Boss deck. I drew with a fairly removal heavy hand, one of the pieces being Gruesome Realization. I used it fairly early, and was able to kill off Krenko's 5 Goblin tokens it already managed to create.

If you're looking for more evasion and anti-token tech, I'd also recommend checking out Legion Loyalist and Goblin War Drums. Rakdos Charm can also be a pretty cheeky way to punish token strategies that outpace you on board establishment. I also recently subbed in Urabrask the Hidden as another Haste anthem and stax piece to slow down board rebuilds after board wipes. Kismet is another decent stax piece to hinder what your opponents are rolling out.

Slaughter the Strong is a board wipe that Isshin can dodge, and forces your opponents to slim down to only the most crucial stuff they can afford to keep.

Lastly, Soul Partition is pretty versatile as a removal piece that essentially adds another instance of Commander Tax to a removed opponents' commander, or can be a protection piece for one of your own things. I used it that same game to get rid of Krenko for essentially the rest of the game.
