Belfore on Hail Caesar - Token Generator

4 days ago

Hey sorry for the short first post did it right before sleep. And thanks Crow_Umbra for getting that Isshin info to Merk-A-Do. I have a few other suggestions that I think will help the deck. Personally I would consider dropping both Public Thoroughfare and Exotic Orchard for something like Vault of the Archangel or maybe Westvale Abbey  ^Flip for one of those 2 and Myriad Landscape for the other. The reason being that even though you are 3 colors the Orchard could potentially only tap for a green or blue which is little to no use to you. As for the Thoroughfare it both enters the battlefield tapped and you have to pay something to it which will slow you down just a bit more, and that could cost you a precious turn.

I am also confused as to why you have Krenko, Mob Boss in there. Don't get me wrong great commander for goblins but not too sure he would stay in play long enough for you to utilize him very well. You might consider Myrel, Shield of Argive or Teysa, Orzhov Scion

I saw the * next to your commander deck.

You have 2 Jerren, Corrupted Bishop  ^Flip, Vault of the Archangel and Commanding Presence. That should make it legal after removing those copies. You should be able to add another card in as well. I recommend just filling with another land.

Last_Laugh on Director Isshin's Cut

Adriana for Skyhunter Strike Force is an easy swap. Same effect, evasive, and 2 mana less.

Phyrexian Dragon Engine for Breena.

Argus Kos for Hanweir Garrison.

Godo for Shared Animosity. It looks like it belongs in tribal only, but just 4 matching 1/1's will attack as 7/1's thanks to double triggers. It snowballs fast from there.

Cut both Temples, Sunlit Marsh, and Heothermal Bog (basically your non tricolor tapped lands) for Command Tower(?), Exotic Orchard, Vault of the Archangel, and Hanweir Battlements.

Nelly/Firemane I'm not a fan of here. Drawing your opponents cards for them = more potential boardwipes. I've admittedly eyeballed Firemane though because I own a full art foil and that art is gorgeous.

Hey, if you want to squeeze lifegain in here, try Vault of the Archangel. It should be a lot easier to find room for. It's expensive to activate but you don't usually need to. Just having the mana open to possibly activate this effects combat in your favor. Keep 'em guessin'!

Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon is an amazing token producer here that's on par with Krenko.

Devilish Valet will 1 shot at least 1 player out of the game. Just 6 tokens entering (aka 1 Adeline trigger) makes him 64 power. I've hit for 8 million personally (23 tokens).

Vault of the Archangel is expensive to activate but you don't usually need to. Just the unspoken threat of potential activation effects combat in your favor.

Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. EngrIsshin - All Your Base Are Belong to Us!

Thanks for the recommendations Last_Laugh! I’ll definitely need to add Court of Vantress and Vault of the Archangel.

I honestly thought Vault of the Archangel was already in this deck. I completely forgot Zur the Enchanter had flying.

Court of Vantress deserves a spot. Copying something like Cathar's Crusade gets nuts and the monarchy is pretty easy to hold here so they're usually permanent token copies.

Zur the Enchanter has a massive toolbox of cards to look up here.

Fanatical Devotion let's you sac tokens to save actual creatures.

Vault of the Archangel is expensive to activate but you don't always need to. Just the unspoken threat of a potential activation effects combat in your favor and when you do activate it, it gains massive amounts of life. Hold up the mana into combat, be prepared to use it if needed, and if not play stuff on your post combat main phase.

Last, but definitely not least is Nykthos Paragon. It's an enchantment so it triggers Alela and Alela conveniently has lifelink built in. The low bar here is Alela at only 2 power puts 2x +1+1 counters on everyone, then 4 the next turn, then 8. It snowballs fast and turns even your 1/1's into game ending threats in no time.
