The only reason for expansion would be to go into white. While that might be cool to explore, I already have a Vampire tribal with Rakdos, Lord of Riots. There are 24 cards in the Mardu color identity which have attacks triggers. I looked at building Isshin Vampire tribal. To my regret, Isshin clearly says control and not own, or Crown of Doom might have been the first inclusion. The former is by far the largest, because it includes all “whenever ~this~ attacks” triggers. In our color identity, their numbers exist in that order. I looked at three main types of attack triggers: 1) whenever a creature you control attacks, 2) whenever a creature attacks, and 3) whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control. My goal here is to avoid going down the completely obvious routes and try to find some cards that live off the beaten path-which leads to my primary use of EDHREC, making sure I’m not playing all the cards that everyone else is playing. Still, the category of attack triggers is sufficiently broad that we have lots of different ways that we can make it work. If you’re playing Isshin as a commander, leveraging attack triggers is the only way to go unless there’s some other secret Samurai commander. The idea of this deck is to use the commander’s ability in compelling ways. It might give the occasional person dyspepsia, but will be for the most part well-tolerated. We’ll start with the more conventionally-powered one. I’ll also provide a suggestion for porting over a version of the first that can work in the latter’s general area. Other than some lands, they won’t share too many cards. One is comfortable living in a high-powered space, the other resting nicely in the power range that is sometimes referred to as the format’s target demographic. I’ll put together two versions of Isshin which exist in separate worlds. Since two heavens exist, I thought, why not then build something for both of them? The one ability it does have (in a world where commanders are increasingly complex) is in mostly unexplored space. It’s a Samurai that doesn’t care about other Samurai unless they have a relevant ability. Isshin, Two Heavens as One is the first commander that really grabbed me once we saw the whole Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty list.
