Here is my take on the new legendary Isshin. I noticed alot of attack-triggering tribal cards not being considered when put into an Isshin deck, since most of the first takes seems to gear around attack-triggering goodstuff like you would with a Wulfgar deck. But with Isshin having white, human tribal seems to be pretty powerful with him.

Create your army of humans, and pump them up so much with doubled attack triggers, that you'll think you played a Craterhoof or something. Then, stomp your opponents for the win!
