Isshin, Two Heavens As One | 3rd Best Commander | Extra Combats

[@Morkins324]

Isshin does double Aurelia's attack trigger, but the trigger only happens the first time Aurelia attacks. So, if you attack with Aurelia while Isshin is in play, you will get two additional combat phases. It can be awkward though because both of the triggers happen at the same time so you immediately untap twice, but then have two additional combat phases after you complete the combat phase you are in, which means that barring Vigilance (or some other way to untap your creatures like Reconnaissance) you probably not be able to attack with everything during the 3rd combat phase. At the very least though, Aurelia + Isshin means that Aurelia can attack during all 3 Combat Phases since she has vigilance herself.

Thanks for clarifying. I apologize for any confusion.

Nice video, I’m Currently building a isshin deck and have a few of the cards you’ve mentioned.

Rad deck! Isshin is fun af. Pretty sure EDHRec ranks commanders by popularity rather than power level.

Thank you! You're right with EDHREC's rankings. It's crazy to see Isshin be the 3rd already!
