How it grades
Fundamentals 84/100. Plays like Tokens and Voltron.
This reads as Tokens · Voltron, built around Isshin, Two Heavens as One. Go wide: flood the board with cheap bodies, multiply them, then convert width into damage or value with anthems, drain triggers, and sacrifice payoffs. Board wipes are the great enemy, so rebuild speed and token-doublers that refill fast matter more than any single big creature. Its strongest fundamental is land count (36 lands. About 38 fits this curve for Tokens); the first thing to tighten is card draw: 6 draw effects (want 9+ for Tokens).
