This is a different approach to build Isshin. The Idea behind the Deck is to gain a lot of life, when you attack with your creatures, but also when your opponents are attacking you. This way the deck can play defensive and offensive, unlike other Isshin Decks that go full offense with extra combat cards. With all the life we gain, there are some cards that cost life.
