Head on samurai charge, like Mardu should.

Instead of big creatures, I decided going with small, faster fry that has triggers on them (especially drain). Also, I was impressed by how fast this deck can clear dungeons from the D&D set and its creatures, so that fitted like a glove.

Don't forget Isshin doubles permanents you control triggers on all attacks, so that applies to out opponents creatures as well. If we're gonna banzai charge every turn, might as well give some punishment if our opponents try to do the same against us with draining/damage enchantments or artifacts.

And since we're on an "attack triggers" theme, why not sprinkle a little goad into the mix? I know most players are not fond of being goaded, but I believe this deck has a very healthy amount of those.

For me, this is a very frightening commander, with a really powerful ability. He's able to make even underwhelming effects become a considerable thorn on everyones' game.

I hope you like it.
