Need to drop 12 cards still. God damn it this is hard!

EDIT: Forgot {Archangel of Thune}, {Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite} and {Skullclamp}. Made some replacements. Still need to drop some shiz.

Gah. Make it 13 over now. This is one of the hardest decks I've ever had to make. These cuts are brutal!

I've considered it, seems like it may be a bit slow though.

In my opinion a Isamaru deck is very aggressive and trys to win with early swords and other equipments and a turn 4/5 {Armageddon} effect and no fatties like {Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite}. Otherwise i suggest an other commander like {Avacyn, Angel of Hope}.

That's pretty true, I don't want this deck to have that sort of feel though. I decided to go with Kemba for now. This deck is for my girlfriend so ultimately I'll allow her to decide the General once it's finished.

I've really been considering throwing {Golden Wish} in here, that card seems nuts! 1 card that can be any of 15 cards of your choice? Geez dude. Need some good Artifact and Enchantment targets! Any suggestions? Already have {Celestial Mantle} and {Darksteel Forge}.

Is there a sideboard in Commander??? I didn't think it was allowed.

That's actually a good question... I'm not entirely sure? I just figured there was, with things like {Spawnsire of Ulamog} being legal and such.

I thought there wasn't because of the 100 limit, but I'm not sure.

Yes, there is technically a sideboard (for the sake of tournaments and such), but as a casual format, sideboards are very rarely seen/used in commander. They are allowed, though.

This deck looks really good. Have you played it? How did it do?

Ideas: take out  {Sunspear Shikari}. Yeah it's good, but only when it's equipped. And if you don't equip it with something to pump it, it's teeny weeny and wouldn't be of much use. And maybe switch out  {Indomitable Archangel} for  {Leonin Abunas}? I've found that the shroud gets aggravating in this area. Maybe that's just me.

And do you have the 1/1 tokens to make  {Skullclamp} draw effect of use?

I just like how much of a power creep the Sunspear is, in this deck you're always going to have a Sword for it. Honestly now that we've play tested the crap out this deck, I would be perfectly fine dropping it though. I'm not sure on dropping the angel though, she's a 4/4 for 4 with flying, which is pretty solid, and I don't regularly find myself having to target my artifacts, so the shroud is pretty legit. Idk about Abunas though, I thought about that guy but he was cut out pretty early.

I run {Trading Post}, {Springjack Pasture} and {Kjeldoran Outpost} to use it to it's full potential. Even throwing it on a fatty is great, it essentially writes "When this creature dies, draw another fatty." Lol.
