It also doesnt have any in-built evasion, so figuring out how to get it to land the killing blow is like a fun little puzzle every time you cast it
Lightning, Lone Commando (Isshin, Two Heavens as One) One of the best Mardu Commanders around, Isshin definitely fits Lightning's vibe in terms of combat mechanics
I would definitely include a Braid of Fire in this deck, as it works very well with Ashlings activated ability
You can easily engineer sneaky wins using this ability and Equipment like Grafted Exoskeleton, if you dont mind losing a few friends along the way
Bloodthirsty Finishers cards like Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose can turn lifegain into direct damage to your opponents
As they say you cant please everyone all the time
