Figured I'd move my comment here to not hijack the deck comment section. Glad you liked the Soul Partition rec! I feel like it's still pretty underrated/overlooked.

I've loved its versatility whenever it's popped up for me. I think I use as removal more often than not.

To build off the suggestions above for versatile removal and protection, I recommend Soul Partition. It has the utility to be spot removal or protection. The times I've used it as removal, whatever it exiled was rarely re-cast.

Love the flavor with the primer you've got going so far, I hope you continue to build that out. In regards to suggestions:

• Soul Partition - A utility counter measure that can render opposing forces ineffective, and potentially save your own.

• Drumbellower - An effective crew member that can keep your crew alert and ready to use their abilities. A bit on the pricier side to onboard, but could be worth it.

• Inspiring Statuary - Adds more utility to all of your artifacts

Not to beat a dead horse of a meme phrase, but these are both situations that illicit a "run more instant speed removal". Jumbo Cactuar hates to see a Bitter Triumph/Soul Partition/(insert other instant speed removal) coming.

Again, I understand that both of those creatures put out hilariously large numbers of damage, but as stated in my first comment, both require a decent amount of hoops to jump through to make it possible. Both Cactuar & Dawnsire are vulnerable to instant speed removal, especially in multi-player formats like EDH, & even more so if you lack the creatures to Station Dawnsire or Haste/Trample/Fling for Cactuar.

If players can't stop either of those creatures from reaching their maximum damage potential, then GGs & shuffle up and play the next game.

Hey there Dayman763, I took another look at your Isshin deck. Overall, I think your changes look pretty solid. I think there are a couple of other slots you could change up if you wanted to try some other cards instead, but on another look:

• Goblin Chirurgeon could likely be swapped. Including itself, other Goblins, and creatures that make Goblin tokens, you have 7 total cards that are Goblins or make them. I'd recommending checking out Soul Partition as a flexible piece of removal or protection.

• I think you can probably swap out Goblin Traprunner for something like Delina, Wild Mage (I see she's in your maybe board), or Zurgo, Thunder's Decree. Traprunner has a ceiling of getting you 6 1/1s if you win all your flips, but that's not super consistent. I think Delina and Zurgo both offer more consistency and higher ceilings than Traprunner.

Beyond that, I think your deck looks decent for a budget build. Lmk if there are more specific things you're looking for feedback on.

If you're interested, I do have an Isshin deck with a primer write up if you want to compare notes. It's not a budget build by anymore, but is intended for more high powered play, Musashi's Mosh Pit [Primer].

Thank you! I didn't even notice, meant to have Alchemist's Talent instead for some ramp and a big burn when I throw out a super boosted Fling or X cost spell. Probably could use a little more interaction and not just straight damage though. I'll take a look and see if Soul Partition can find a spot in there.

Your deck looks solid! Idk if you meant to put a different card, but Alchemist's Gift is not legal for this deck since it is not in Lightning's color identity.

If you don't have a swap in mind, I'd recommend checking out Soul Partition, since it has flexibility as either a (temporary) removal piece or a protection piece. The times I've used it as removal, my opponents overwhelmingly didn't recast what was exiled.

Doh! I hate when I make suggestions that are in the board. Let me redeem myself...
