I had the opportunity to run a few games today(and won 1!) with this deck and I definitively agree surveil is a great keyword to focus on for this deck, often couldn't stay on curve into Narset's engine on curve without one or two bigger spells already in the graveyard to cast for free.

Below changes made:

Curate> Preordain

Otherworldly Gaze > Serum Visions

Faithless Looting > Stormchaser's Talent (Maybe I'm missing something here, but this deck doesn't much care for recursion to hand and upgrading it doesn't trigger prowess/mage craft. Too expensive for a mediocre synergy)

Unauthorized Exit > Swords to Plowshares

Excise the Imperfect > Wear / Tear

Wheel of Fate > Lock and Load (Fantastic call, Lock and Load is a little slower and honestly is not an efficient finisher for the CMC slot it fills)

I combed through the first Ravnica sets and found a few more legendofa, along with a bunch of probably not’s.

•Conjured Currency

•Skull Rend

•Orzhov Charm

•Prophetic Prism (the Gatecrash printing, idk the abbreviation)

•Simic Charm

•Alive / Well (the Well part, obviously)

•Wear / Tear (the Wear part, obviously)

---

Probably Not’s

•All the Keyrunes. Again, I have no idea what the WotC-invented lore is, so I’m not sure if these keyrunes are small objects being held and looked at in the first person, or if they’re something entirely different. In any case, there are no hands shown so I doubt these qualify.

•Azorius Keyrune, Golgari Keyrune, Izzet Keyrune, Rakdos Keyrune, Selesnya Keyrune, Boros Keyrune, Dimir Keyrune, Gruul Keyrune, Orzhov Keyrune, Simic Keyrune

•Faerie Impostor hand, but I think the angle is too low to be any kind of FPP.

•Giant Growth definitely first person, but no hands, only shadow.

•Street Spasm I think that round portion under the hand is the top of a helmet, so not first person, but it could possibly be a big shoulder pauldron or something so I’m not 100% sure.

•Hands of Binding might qualify, but the angle is a bit off.

•Naturalize the angle is also too far removed from FPP I think.

Crow_Umbra on The Thousandth Gnome [$50 Anim Pakal Budget]

No prob! I've used all 3 cards at some point or another in different decks, usually in Aristocrats or token focused strats.

I like your inclusion of stuff like Homestead Courage and Feat of Resistance to protect or anthem up Anim Pakal, and get extra counters on her. I think you have a decent amount of redundancy that you could maybe swap one of them for Scapegoat, since it has upside of saving other creatures beyond your commander. I think of all of them, you could cut Test of Faith, as it feels the most narrow.

I think you could swap either Dispatch or Wear / Tear for for Soul Partition, depends on your preferences. I could also be off-base that these aren't even on your radar for swaps lol.

I see the usefulness in Resourceful Defense being able to move counters around on your creatures, either for the activation cost, or when they die. Fanatical Devotion could be a 1:1 swap on mana value, & turns your Gnomes into protective fodder.

If you're looking for a "better Rip Apart", Wear / Tear

legendofa on burn deck help to refurbish

9-lives Okay, that's a good starting point.

First thing I want to mention is that if you describe a deck as competitive, there's a very strong connotation that it is capable of succeeding in a tournament setting. Think of it as shorthand for tournament-competitive. That's why people have been questioning that point, and if you've only used it against a few people, that's not going to fit the community definition. Competitive-casual isn't binary; it's a wide spectrum, but the "competitive" end of that spectrum is well-defined. Just to get everyone on the same page.

For actual deck suggestions, Wear / Tear is a reasonable sideboard option in addition to, or in place of, Rip Apart. Lifegain is a pretty hard counter to burn if you let it get established. I see Skullcrack and Roiling Vortex, so the next response to lifegain is to address the sources. Are your opponents gaining life from creatures, enchantments, or spells? Are they gaining big chunks of life, or steady streams? Remove the Ajani's Welcomes and Soul's Attendants or whatever and stop the life gain at the source.

Since you're committing to 60+ cards, you need to get to your key cards ASAP. Card draw becomes highly important. Would you consider turning this into a more combo-centric deck instead of leaning on burn as much?

Unless your opponents are playing something like Disciple of Caelus Nin, all of your phased out permanents should phase back at the beginning of your next upkeep. Here's a wiki entry for Phasing if you wanted to review the rule details.

Understandable regarding Krenko. Mostly suggesting creature token creators that are pretty commonly utilized in Isshin token decks, and since you have Isshin in the 99.

I don't mind if you're not running the ramp stuff. I'm mostly suggesting running more ramp to avoid getting mana flooded, since you're not playing a strategy like Landfall, which can play more than 1 land per turn. Having some mana rocks can act as like an extra land drop in your early turns.

A few suggestions regarding your removal options, but I think that Generous Gift, Swords to Plowshares, Stroke of Midnight, Wear / Tear, and Grasp of Fate could all be alternatives to Archangel of Wrath, Banishing Stroke, and Bone Splinters. All of these options have minor drawbacks, but are a bit faster and more versatile than the options you're currently running.

All that being said, it's no big deal to me if you use anything I suggest or don't. Your enjoyment of your deck on your own terms is what matters most.

Crow_Umbra on Isshin, We Couldn't Budget the Second Heaven

1 year ago

You've got a pretty decent looking deck here. I love the name, +1 for that alone.

If you're open to suggestions, I do have some thoughts on potential changes you could make. I get that a lot of the expensive stuff in deck is stuff you already own, so my suggestions are being made with budget not necessarily being an issue:

• I think you can replace Chaos Warp and Mortify, mostly because Mardu has some more versatile options like Anguished Unmaking, Generous Gift, Stroke of Midnight, Soul Partition, and Wear / Tear.

• I highly recommend adding Dolmen Gate and Reconnaissance as additional board protection effects. Reconnaissance basically acts a pseudo-Vigilance anthem that can untap and save your creatures at the end of combat, since they are considered attacking until the end of combat.

• Karlach, Fury of Avernus and/or Aurelia, the Warleader could be potential swaps with Raiyuu, since you aren't limiting yourself to a single Samurai or Warrior attacking, and can swing with the whole team. Both Karlach and Aurelia get some additional mileage with vigilance anthems.

• Chivalric Alliance could be a potential swap with Thorough Investigation or Search the Premises.

• As much as I love Alesha, she was my first Mardu commander before I converted her to Isshin over a year ago, I don't think she really fits this deck. Only ~8 of your creatures have power 2 or less. Perhaps Professional Face-Breaker could be a swap to reward your aggro plays, and also give you another means of (impulse) drawing.

I hope these suggestions are helpful. I'm happy to chat through any additional suggestions or ideas if you're up to it. Best of luck with your deck and its games!
