Where is Weathered Wayfarer? IMO better than Eternal Dragon, or at least should be here somewhere. Also, it feels to me like Kemba, Kha Regent is a better general than Isamaru for an Equipment-based deck, but I have never tried either. (I see she's in here, which is good.)
I also think Gideon Jura might be a bit high on the mana curve for this deck without having a game-winning effect.
I think I would play Flickering Ward over Cho-Manno's Blessing, but the ability to change colors or save the enchantment vs. instant speed is not a huge difference.
Kemba is just an alt win con, if the general would be kemba then i wouldve made a whole new deck. When on the play, Mistep, Force, Foil, etc not that many cards to respond to turn 1 Isamaru.
For Kemba, gotta wait till turn 3, plus gotta have more mana to make sure she sticks. so maybe Kemba on turn 4-5 to be safe, if playing against blue, maybe even later than that? with Isamaru you can rush in and apply the pressure on turn as early as of turn 2.
waiting on kemba for equips for tokens, takes time, when isamaru can alrdy be hitting for 2-4 on turn 2, maybe 5-7 turn 3, and 9-11 on turn 4, clean up on turns 5-8?
Bonesplitter T2, Grafted Wargear T3, Armored Ascension T4. Would have to be really lucky to get a draw like that but the pressure is important
5 mana is pretty much the end on curve, and gideon is pretty good here, and he always helps isamaru connect at the end.
for Blessing i prefer the instant speed, plus when u use the blessing u are alrdy choosing the main color of the deck ur playing neways, only decks flickering ward seems good against is if playing against are like 5 color decks, just my opinion
