Commander deckBRW
Isshin, Two Heavens as One
Overwhelm opponents by doubling attack triggers, generating a massive army of creature tokens every time you swing. This budget-friendly Mardu list stacks aggressive attack triggers, token generators, and combat multipliers to close out games rapidly.
Asked for“Fire Lord Azula commander deck, with a strong focus on creating value when i attack and summoning a lot of creatures from attacking. This would be best to include storm and other similar options”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
