If you want to spend a little extra. Archon of Cruelty is an absolute beast in this deck. Forcing an opponent to lose 6 life, sac 2 creatures, discard 2 cards and you gain 6 life and draw two cards on one attack is ridiculous.
As a bonus, pair it with blade of selves :)
One of my favourite and most hated card by the rest of the table in my isshin deck
Great value but at 8 mana you should just be winning the game.
Definitely a power play to reanimated it early and control the entire board, I use archon in my dungeon storm deck and it gets salty as is
@@hiddenleaf414
If you can't win after resolving an Archon of Cruelty and have it survive a turn, you aren't winning regardless.
Been brewing this man for months now, it's a deck with 3 pillars to stand on, multiple combats with cards like Karlach, multiple triggers with Isshin, and Mutiple Creatures with Leigon Loyalty. Thank you for pointing out ankle shanker, and wingmate roc works great with myriad.
Myriad copies don’t actually trigger attack triggers because they enter tapped and attacking. Myriad itself will trigger twice, but creatures such as hammer or moradin will only trigger against the player the real one is swinging at.
@@coltonpratt3787 myriad is still a good keyword for double attack triggers, but you could change it up and add etb and ltb triggers because when all your myriad copies come in and die, if you have double myriad, each etb and ltb will trigger 6 or so times.
@@dreadfulpopcorn absolutely nutty
Except for the part where it says "for each opponent"
@@BClevs I’m not sure what you’re replying to but each opponent doesn’t change the fact they come in tapped and attacking and miss attack triggers.
@@hiddenleaf414 I'm aware. Yeah, sorry it was a vague comment. I was not referring to the Myriad portion of the card, but to the second half of the card's text in reference to @dreadfulpopcorn's comment that the original Hammers of Moradin only triggers aginst the opponent that it is attacking, which is false. It does, in fact, tap down a creature that each opponent controls, twice (because the card says, "for each opponent".) Does that make more sense?
Definitely a candidate for a break the bank Episode
That was my first thought. Would love to see this both middle of the road and competitively maxed out, budget wise.
2:28 first up 😊 Have a safe weekend!
Great episode, love this commander. I was using him as token generator/aristocrat drain until recently. Made a more vultron version of late that I haven't had a chance to play yet. Regardless of what style you play, I'd recommend Two-Handed Axe from Baldur's Gate. Cheap uncommon that doubles creature's power when it attacks (x2 with Isshin). If you're having mana issues with mardu, which is common, there are quite a few creatures and some enchantments to help that create treasures on attack. Hoarding Ogre, Zhentarim Bandit, Burakos Party Leader, and then the more expensive Captain Lannery Storm, and Goldspan Dragon for creatures. And Guild Artisan and Shiny Impetus for enchantments. Lastly, if you don't like mardu, there is also a Gruul commander called Wulfgar of Icewind Dale that is similar to Isshin. Wulfgar only triggers on creatures you control though, and has a higher mana cost. Hope this helps and have fun guys.
I HIGHLY recommend rabble rousing for an Isshin deck. When you make 1/1 humans for every creature you control twice every combat, you get a difficult to answer board within two turns unless they can answer the enchantment.
I don't know how much it is off the top of my head, but Coastline Marauders is an absolute beast in this deck. By the midgame, it can easily be a 12+ power creature with trample. Its Encore ability also makes it a neat finisher.
Explorer's Scope is a must for this deck. At best you get two lands on the battlefield tapped. At worst you know what card is coming up next. Excellent ramp potential.
I run that in my Wyleth Deck, which is already a precon, so you could easily convert it to an Issin deck....and there are a lot of good equipment that work really good with Issin in that deck.
Not to mention Wyleth himself is a good source of card draw even without Issin.
Recently bought him on TCGplayer. Ready to play this deck
Ya, I just finished making a deck very similar to this and oh BOY is it fun. An awesome new card to add is Balor. He's around 3$ but the amount of triggers you can get off of him and destroy everyone's artifacts or discard is amazing.
Loyal Unicorn is a great addition and Rabble Rousing (just barely over a dollar) is one of the best additions
I have two different Isshin Decks that I've been brewing. One that's similar to this, and then another that's focused on exalted and only having a singular creature attacking. Having multiple exalted creatures out and having them trigger twice gets really nasty really quick. It's also a fun mix up as opposed to just searching for everything that has "when this creature attacks". Some of my favorite includes are Divine Exaltation, Idolized, and Sigil of Valor. It's also fun to include a bunch of defensive attack triggers as well. Like Light mine Field, Marchesa's Decree, and Revenge of Ravens.
I love doubling, this is definitely a deck I want to build some day.
this looks fun great deck!
i have been building and changing my isshin deck about 10 times from goading over pillowforting to additional combat and i gotta say kindred charge is a super busted card for any isshin deck that has some kind of a tribal synergy (for me having about 15-20 creatures that share a type usually work but it really depends on the tribe tho). tribes to consider are goblins (superbroken and a lot of fun to use), humans (WINOTA oh yeah and tokens + anthems) and obviously eldrazi which is just stupid. i would't advice you to go all in on eldrazi this causes pretty miserable games from my experience but for my fellow tergrid lovers out there this is a cool timmy version of a tergrid deck :D
I too have been attempting to built this but have not really got it finished. This guide will definitely help me get it done, thx!
If there’s space, toss in launch the fleets. The spell gives creatures you control the ability to make a 1/1 white soldier creature token whenever those creatures attack until the end of turn and fleets strive cost is stupid cheap. Just 1 color mama for every creature beyond the first. It is technically a card effect that activates when attacking that’s temporarily granted to permanents you control so you’ll effectively make twice the tokens for being on the offensive.
For budget, Rhox Veteran can help tap your opponents creatures and Battle Cry gives +2/+0. Tajic, Blade of the Legion becomes a 12/12 indestructible when he attacks with at least 2 other creatures. Akroan Hoplite gives itself +X/+0 where X is the number of your attacking creatures, doubled with Isshin. Also Farrel's Mantle. Pact Weapon from the Baldur's Gate set is undervalued right now, let's you draw 2 cards and get +X/+X where X is the drawn cards mana value. Trepanation Blade is another good equipment as well. Loyal Unicorn is good for protecting your attackers and gives them vigilance so you're not left open. Eternal Taskmaster and Treasury Thrull are some good recursion pieces. There are some backgrounds from Baldur's Gate as well that work well, Guild Artisan in particular can make 4 treasures when Isshin attacks. And another shout-out to Nadaar, Selfless Paladin who can speedrun dungeons. If you're willing to spend a little more, of course Sword of the Animist is one of the best ramp pieces this deck has access to. Iroas, God of Victory is great for protecting your attackers as well. Curse of Opulence can really entice opponents to attack each other. Grave Titan finally has a chance to shine as well. And of course my favorite card in this deck, which should himself be a legendary creature, Brutal Hordechief.
I spend months looking for a commander to build my first deck for and settled on Wulfgar out of the Dragonic Rage precon. After investing my hard earned coin in the deck, Isshin was revealed. Needless to say, I wanted to punch myself in the groin🥲
At least half your deck can go into ISSHIN !
Definitely did the same thing. And once I made switch it was much more fun to play
And now you have 2 decks.
Two-Handed Axe from Baldurs gate is a great combat equipment to throw in, cause it makes anything not at 1 power a nearly must block. And hovering just outside of the budget, Drakuseth is great to throw 14 damage out across the board and leave someone else dealing with a 7/7 flyer
I built Ishin and I run Godo, Bandit Warlord, Aurelia the War Leader, and Raiyuu, Storm's Edge. Three Attacks once a turn and that's not including other board effects. Breena, the Demagogue and Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant also provide some nice "opponent attack triggers" for Ishin. I love this commander and just how aggressive it can be.
Hooded Blightfang is a fun option. On the attack, if your creatures all have deathtouch someone will get triggered. It also helps with Planeswalker removal as well
I personally like the idea of throwing Delina wild mage in for the funny multiple dupe effect which dupes your on attack creatures
This is the next "budget" deck I'm building. Looks so fun!
I like this build, but I would swap some of the higher cost cards out for some that have cheaper CMC. I built something similar to this and always ran into issues with card draw and mana ramp. Throwing in a sword of the animist and a few black draw spells can go a long way. Tho admittedly sword is more than a dollar.
Everybody always hyped up my boy Isshin (rightfully so), but nobody gives Wulfgar the attention he deserves🥲 Green has some heaters too you know. Goreclaw, Kalonian Hydra, Pathbreaker Ibex, Elder Garagaroth, and Klauth are a few goodies Gruul has (not to mention green ramp).
@@DarkEinherjar that is true, which is why he gets more hype. Wulfgar just gets slept on as a result of Isshin’s existence even though he really shouldn’t be. Having green means getting big creatures fast, less likely to be mana screwed, and he also has melee and can easily 2-3 shot most opponents himself.
I built Wulfgar and played him. Then when Isshin came out, i built him. I've never been tempted to play Wulfgar again since.
Also isshin procs with opponents attacking aswell, Wulfgar is only with his own creatures
Nice, finally Isshin!
isshin is really good my buddy has a isshin deck i helped build that uses blade of selves and jeska etc.
Out of all my casual decks, this man has been the prime star of my group. People are more scared of this than any blue deck I could possibly play
Yeah, and this is just the budget you can pull with isshin, imagine double drakuseth triggers, double Goldspan dragon triggers, double argentum armor triggers, Aurelia triggers, there is unlimited possibilties with isshin.
@@DarkEinherjar unless you pair her with sword of hearth and home, then its an infinite combo assuming you can get CD in
Does isshin double triggers from enchantments? I.e. hardened scales or doubling season
@@treymeyer5537 yup, it says triggered abilities from permanents you control from a creature attacking. So attack trigger curses like curse of opulence also works
@@treymeyer5537 but no doubling season trigger
@@DarkEinherjar depends on your playstyle i guess
Legion loyalty would slap in this deck
Fervent Charge is a GREAT enchantment for this deck, almost a must have
Creatures that trigger Extra combat + Parhelion 2 are crazy!
Two-Handed Axe would be amazing in this deck also.
I put hoarding ogre and thieves tools in my ishin deck for some great treasure production/"protection" for creatures with power 3 or less. Also savior of ollenbock is a nasty card for ishin as well. It trains twice getting two +1/+1 counters, and exiles two cards because of it 😈😈
Please do an upgraded/break the bank version of this Mitch!
I tried to buy this deck and for some reason hero of Odin ridge was 950 dollars I went to checkout and my total was over 1000 dollars I put in a report on the card took it off the roster replaced it with the 75¢ card and ended up buying the whole deck for 53 dollars including shipping and fees so I’m excited for it to get here 😄
How was the deck?
I love it. I changed a couple cards because I play in an artifact heavy format with my friends. It can be really explosive and the mana base is really balanced 🌋💀☀️
The funny thing is, I've been making him as an Exalted deck, but I might switch to this.
I have isshin in kaalia and he’s phenomenal
Olivia, Crimson Bride has become a top tier card in my Isshin deck.
Forgot to mention that hammers of moradin will create 2 creatures at each other player it's not attacking from myriad.
Wanna see something crazy? All those tokens you're pumping out and thundering Raiju with my FAVORITE card in the deck.... Behold the sauce
Cathars' Crusade
Enchantment 3☀️☀️
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
Hero of Bladehold could work very well, creating 4 soldier tokens for each attack and triggering battle cry twice
Great content as always!!
I wonder how chaotic this would be if were to be converted into a 4 player cube edh with everyone having the same commander?
It would be something for sure lol.
Damn it's a speed run to see who dies first 😂
@@tomas_riv4134 it would be for real; but that would be an up side since most EDH games easily lasting around an hour or more.
With how fast the game will end, you can have swiss rounds: best of 3, like a normal match of standard, having a similar length of game time.
For extra chaos, add some cards that trigger when opponents attack; since with the wording of the commander it doesn't matter who's creature attacks, with it only matters if you controll permanents that triggers during combat.
@@Zed-Corps yea could be lots of fun (and scooping) haha in my play group there are some commanders that are so gross we scoop on turn 3 so they're quite quick for us 😂
@@tomas_riv4134 definitely, when it comes to fast powerhouse decks like that; you should play rounds of 3 to determine the winner just like standard lol.
I used to play like that before 2020; but ever since then the few small game shops near me that other magic players frequented closed down unfortunately (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)
@@tomas_riv4134 most of Los Angeles is a dead zone for casual magic players; it's mostly just players who just care about only tournaments to grind for prize packs.
Hey Mitch! If you could upgrade the deck, how would you with say max/card being $15-20?
Myriad triggers twice.
Legion loyalty in this is insane
A silly Lil defence that could ruin anyone doing any sort of damage to you directly or indirectly would be a phryxian obliterator equipped with pariah shield, which when you take any damage dealt to you goes straight to equipped creature, which then phrexian obliterator makes that owner of the damage sacrifice any number of permanent the damage does to it
Building a deck for him and I just realized if I'm not wrong. You can basically get infinite combat phases with lightning runner and the Myriad sword. Because it makes a copy of that creature attacking and if that is the case you would get 8 energy counters remove and just keep going lmao.
This wont actually work. The myriad tokens wont make triggers as they attack. They enter already attacking
@@jeremycrawford3675 how exactly? If it's an exact copy of the creature with an attack trigger why wouldn't the tokens attack trigger activate?
@@epicservbot9747 Attack triggers go on the stack when the creature moves to attack during the declare attackers step (when you tap it for example)
The tokens created by Myriad are never "declared as attackers", they are already in the attacking state when they are created, which is after the declare attackers step
@@jeremycrawford3675 awwwww man I thought I was on to something thanks for clearing it up
Why is no one talking about Cadira, caller of the small? Imagine loading the deck with infinite token combos. I dunno, just a thought.
That and Cadira has green so they can't be played together.
Too funny. When I started the video I was wondering to myself if this works with Annihilator X, and, it seems it does! Sweet!
So I noticed the New Capenna "Hideout" fetch lands are listed in the video but on the decklist.. is this and alternative to the gates possibly? Just wondering why they didn't make the final list
Hammers of morradin are great but I would also stick greatsword of tyr, territorrial hammerskull and rhox veteran in there. Each have an attack trigger tap target creature effect, last of which also has battle cry and greatsword of tyr also gives a +1/+1 counters on attack
Goldspan dragon! Giving you 2 treasures every time it swings including the turn you play it. That's 4 mana!
Turn this deck into a "lose your friends" episode by adding Eldrazi with annihilator. I haven't seen anyone scoop so fast...
Fantastic Deck Tech Mitch! Keep the videos coming!
I use this commander with mentor cards and eldrazi's annihilator ability. so annihilator become crazy and the mentor of the smaller creatures allows you to build you're board and get the manner to setup for the high costing eldrazi. plus mentor triggering multiple times gets pretty out of hand, I've won a few times just on my mentor cards alone
Lately I’ve been playing Volo, Guide to Monsters as my commander and it gets pretty nuts. He’s a B/G 4 mana commander so easy enough to get into play, and then copies creatures I play if I don’t have that creature type on the field or in the grave… so between unique creature types and exiles, it’s pretty consistent triggering his ability.
The other day I was playing and played Spark Double which let me copy Volo and the copy wasn’t legendary… well original Volo copied Spark Double, so I then had 3 Volos and anytime I played a creature type for the 1st time I got 4 copies of that creature lol
U is blue in Magic B is black.
Also this channel has a great vid on Volo when he came out.
It’s Tom Cruise from The Last Samurai.
raise hell with the titans cycle of cards!
How would Aurelia the war leader work with something like this? I'm too smooth brain to figure it out 😂
You’d get 2 extra combats and 2 untap effects, but they both occur right away. You’ll need a vigilance effect to compliment it.
Or pair another creature with sword of hearth and home, get combat damage in, flash out and in aurelia, then boom, infinite combats
is there like an aetherhub link for this deck that way I can see the whole card list?
This deck is silly. I want it. Lol.
if you want to spend a lot on one card the double combat would be very strong is you have a lot of mana cause you can swing them swing so with the golden pig you'd be getting 16+ cards depending on how many times you use it
As soon as I pulled the red, black, and white ancient dragons with legion's loyalty, I knew the direction I'd go with my deck, this is gonna be a powerhouse
Went to TCG player to think about getting this deck. The deck was worth over $1000, turns our someone has listen a Hero of Oxid Ridge for $976
I was wondering do you have a list of all creatures (commanders) you have made a deck with? It would be easier for me to find a suitable commander to build :)
If you follow the link in the video description it will take you to his decks on TCG player, scroll through and see what commanders interest you and you'll be able to see their decks by clicking on them.
So I have been running this commander for a while and I think the way to go is heavy attack triggers with ways to apply haste. Myriad shines in this deck when playing with friends, I found a combo that I didn't see in the deck that is very strong otk potential. Pair Two-Handed Axe with any myriad doubles their power twice before the myriad effect triggers. Now use the creature Eltruel Survivors that has Myriad and Trample with +X/0 for each land defending player has....... do you see the crazy swing you can make? I used it on my friends and they were all in disbelief lol
The myriad copies will have the base power of the creature they're copying, not the boosted power from the axe.
Utavara hellkite can be kinda pricey but in this deck it says qu’énerver à dragon u control attacks make 2 hugee dragons… it’s a dragon
is there an upgrade guide ??o-o
I play him since he came out and in 99% of games I don't even get to play Itali bc it's over long before that... for me the golden pic is krenko kingpin
Throw irelia for additional combats to do [Deluxe] damage
were any of the red curse mentioned??
i’m gonna need a mid range budget version of this deck, like ~$150.
Isshin, Two Heavens as One is a neat commander, but i disagree with alot of your choices, however, i know your intending to look at budget options. There are a handful of creatures that have an attack trigger that causes an additional combat phase, i would lean on that. Ramp, Tutors, Haste, then establish infinite combat triggers. You say Etali is the "golden pig" but let's be real, Combat Celebrant would be if it wasn't about $20.
I need more practice, and need better mana ramp. I love my samurai deck but having trouble 😞
Give this man myriad
The only upgrades I'd make are Teferi's Protection, Aurelia and Helm of the Host
Please do one on Muldrotha
Would Ulamog with Annihilator be possible? Does it trigger two times?
Yes. He mentions 2 cards with Annihilator in the video. Ulamog wasn't mentioned because Mitch focuses on budget builds.
Would love to see a more permissive budget version of a lot of these deck builds (not a busted limitless $ version with super obvious staples though). There are some fun ideas here, but my playgroup would wreck this build.
Pretty much every card that has Myriad is funny in this deck. Blade of Selves on Sun Titan?
i know its past budget for the card, but how would Aurelia, the Warleader run in that deck?
Awesomely
I usually use oblation as card draw in my token decks lol.
You already made the remove these commanders asap vid. Why you gotta do a 2nd reason to make my deck the biggest threat on the table.
Wait… DOUBLE Lightmine Field?! 😈
i am not sure what happened or if i am using this site right built this deck, after using the link, came out to over $1000.00.
Sad time. sounds like aggro fun.
I bit sad to not see Commander Liara Portyr in this decklist
If you attack 3 opponents it's 6 cards exiled who cost 6 mana less to cast
On a 3 cent card
Would Myriad work in this deck?
If you watched the video, you'd know the answer...
i cant find am adriana for less then 1.90
Head's up for all you amazing MTG player's, I currently got 2 Roleplay ASMR Audios in the making, about a girl that's dating a guy who teaches her to play the card game, I got a feeling that a bunch of you will like it ☺️💕
Yoooooo, how would Torbran work in this deck🤔😳
The price is going to be higher than the $1/card that the rest of this deck is, but wouldn't Legion Loyalty be a shoe-in with Isshin, Two Heavens as One?
Yup that card goes really well with this deck. And many others. Thanks for the reminder.
Ehhh not really, its way too expensive mana wise for what it does. People compare it to craterhoof, when its really not even close, you need a board of creatures where giving them myriad is going to be impactful. Isshin decks don't commonly have many cards in them were myriad is going to have your board go nuts, you're going to have 1 scary turn where you might kill a player, and then have your legion loyalty removed, or the other 2 players just kill you on crack back. If you aren't on a budget, Márton Stromgald is the way to go, you should have haste enablers in your deck, and if you do that boy is a literal red craterhoof. Whilst be might be a little spendy, he is a reserve list card, so he will retain his value.
It's good, but it is high mana value, and can also be a total dud late game when you don't have 3 opponents.
Cheerin fanatic can help get out those big eldrazi creatures fyi
Elder Brain.....you mean KRANG.
How could you not include Godo bandit warlord?
You do know that this build is ultra budget from an ultra budget builder, right?
@@andrewlavish9635 yes, but the effect works so well with him. I wasnt intending anything rude, I was just surprised
what means omega level :D ?
Blimey. Take a breath! 🤣I only caught half of what you said.
finally
So Annihilator on the OG Eldrazi cards will have a double trigger. Guess it's time for me to pull my borderless alternate art Isshin out of the binder and build him. *Laughs maniacally*
