Yisan can lure majestic beasts to help you defeat your opponents. Yisan can summon larger and larger monsters every turn, so your opponent better have a whole bunch of kill spells to deal with them!

Deck discussion for Budget EDH: Stories of a Bard

Great deck. The only possible problem is your opponent removing Yisan....But there's no real answer to that.

Some suggestions in terms of creatures:
1. Spearbreaker Behemoth (trying killing anything beefy creature I have!)
2. Thornling (try killing THAT ha! XD)
3. Predator Ooze (small, but every turn. Every turn it's going to be hilarious)

Some suggestions in terms of instants/sorceries:
1. Withstand death/Mortal's Resolve (against mass destruction spells)
2. Triumph of the Horde (Oh, big fat infect creatures.)

But seriously, wish I had the money to make these decks XD

Yeah, even I couldn't afford my EDH decks... Even though I'm dying to create the Chaos EDH in real life...
Making some changes now...

Awesome! Thanks for making the deck! I think you should add illusionist's bracers. It's really useful with commanders that have activated abilities. :) I love the deck! It's given me great ideas#

Thank you!
I really like it too! I enjoyed since I could add lots of 1 mana creatures, then lots of 2 mana creatures, then 3 mana creatures, etc.

What about untapping spells? Just to get the most out of that Bard.

I actually like that idea. How about Magewright's Stone? Or Umbral Mantle?

Yeah those could both work wonders here.

this deck is missing important cards such as wirewood symbiote, priest of tiatania, quirion ranger, scryb ranger, seeker of skybreak, skyshroud ranger, sakura-tribe scout, and quest for renewal, yes you can play a yisan deck with only one spell that untaps him but he is very lack luster if you do, Yisan is all about getting mana dorks, and untappers out early so that you can summon a large creature very fast for free

its fine if you only ever want to do casual but if you take it to even a small tournament at your local card shop don't expect to win

yisan is such a good commander that he is banned in 1v1's so most people probably know about how he plays, and using him will normally put a target on you, with this deck you will lose very fast if everyone is targeting you
