Disclaimer: I'm aware that the WW version of Isamaru is preferred over the Voltron-style one, and I'm aware of most my deck's weaknesses (Condemn, Hinder, Flashfires, Stench of Evil etc.) That being said, I enjoy playing this deck and I don't mind autoscooping to some of the aforementioned cards every so often, though I try to either play around them or have alternate win conditions ready.
As an aside, I've semi-accidentally started to foil it out so there's no turning back now. Looking for comments, suggestions, improvements, or any other form of input, constructive preferred. =p
- There are a few cards with similar effects I'm deciding between. Apostle's Blessing, Shelter might replace Razor Barrier or Emerge Unscathed, any thoughts? Similarly, I have Reciprocate, Soul Snare, Afterlife, and Devouring Light under consideration. They all have their advantages and disadvantages, but which ones carry more weight?
- Cards that should probably go in my deck but I'm not sure what to cut: Mother of Runes, Sword of Light and Shadow.
- Wing Shards has been somewhat disappointing as a form of removal since I don't seem to encounter many indestructible/hexproof/shroud creatures, but this might be a meta thing. It's possible I might just be hesitant to cut it because I have the FNM foil though.

Basically, if you want to open packs to get cards for Standard and Modern, the simpler approach is to just buy all the singles you need and then set some money on fire to make up the difference.
