Saved commander deck
Isshin, Two Heavens as One
Combine aggressive attack-trigger threats representing Cloud's limit breaks and Sephiroth's oppressive combat mastery. Isshin doubles all combat attack triggers, maximizing token generation, card advantage, and extra damage to quickly overpower opponents within a budget-friendly Mardu shell.
Prompt: I need the best combination of both the Final Fantasy standard starter decks (Cloud and Sephiroth 60 card decks). This is a commander deck, and the focus should be on keeping cards that are already in the set, however you can pull from outside these 120 cards as needed
