Ishai and Reyhan Deck Specifics

Ishai's Voltron

Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker is a creature with its own evasion, flying, and its own ability to grow huge and scales with more players at the board. So we want cards that accelerate its growth of +1/+1 counters, protect it from being killed by removal spells, and allow it to swing uncontested.

Reyhan's Death Matters

Reyhan, Last of the Abzan is a creature that comes in with +1/+1 counters and allows the redistribution of counters from creatures that die. So we want ways to multiply the amount of counters flying around, creatures that come in with counters and do things when they die, and ways to kill off creatures to put their counters on something powerful and evasive, like Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker.
