One rule and one rule only for this deck: ATTACK. It's a pretty straightforward, combat-focused creature pile, but we're also trying to take advantage of Isshin's ability to protect ourselves/encourage opponents to attack each other, hence the inclusion of cards like Firemane Commando, Revenge of Ravens, and Curse of Opulence.

Some basic combos I wanted to include:

Creature token generator + Cathars' Crusade + Warstorm Surge = Lots of damage

Myriad creatures + Goblin Bombardment = Extra free damage as combat ends (Sac tokens in response to the exile trigger)

Other Myriad creatures + The Master, Multiplied = quickly overrun the board

Aurelia, the Warleader + Helm of the Host = Infinite combat

With all the token generators included, Mirkwood Bats and Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation   felt like highly synergystic auto-includes to squeeze out even more value from a game plan we're already running or possibly close out games faster and easier. Need help determining the best cuts to make room for a solid mana base and possible tradeouts to make/consider.
