My first take on the ever-versatile Isshin, this deck takes heavy advantage of exalted and the new kamigawa attacks alone mechanics, with a bunch of support for such concepts to make sure that whatever you're swinging alone stays gigantic.

Extra combats mean that your exalted champion will gain all of the exalted triggers multiple times (twice per exalted per combat with Isshin on the board), ensuring that each combat is worse than the last for your opponent. You can jank out infinite extra combats utilizing Aurelia, the Warleader and a creature equipped with Sword of Hearth and Home, ensuring that every time you flicker Aurelia you gain 2 more combat phases.

Some of the synergies I look forward to using are Bloodvial Purveyor and either Maskwood Nexus or Conspiracy naming Samurai, granting our flying trample friend all the benefits of cards like Asari Captain and prompting the extra combat (or 2 with Isshin down) from Raiyuu, Storm's Edge.

You can also get some jank damage in with Peerless Samurai and Silent Arbiter to ensure that your exalted champions smacks your opponents into last century.

Overall, I like the idea of Isshin sending one jacked champion to duel his opponents, but never forget that Isshin himself can be the exalted duelist.
