“Spirits and steel—pump your tokens with every Aura and Equipment you play.”
Chishiro, the Shattered Blade is a token generator that doubles as a lord for modified creatures. Every Aura or Equipment you attach creates a 2/2 Spirit token with menace, and at end of turn, all your modified creatures (including those tokens) get +1/+1 counters. The deck wants to chain cheap Auras and Equipment—especially ones with multiple triggers or reusable effects—to flood the board with growing threats. You're essentially building a go-wide token swarm that scales in power each turn.
The core gameplan is to suit up Chishiro and other creatures with low-cost Auras and Equipment while generating value. Cards like Curious Pair, Oath of Nissa, or even modal Auras that leave bodies behind fuel multiple triggers. Equipments like Bonesplitter and Shadowspear are efficient repeatable modifications. You'll win through commander damage or a swarm of 4/4+ flying Spirits crashing through, often protected by the modified creature bonuses and evasion.
This deck bridges aggro and midrange: fast enough to pressure early with tokens, but scalable enough to grind. The mana base is forgiving (just green-red), making it accessible for newer players while offering room for experienced pilots to optimize trigger stacking and sequencing.

Replace pricey Auras like Ethereal Armor with Blighted Agent or Unflinching Courage; use common Equipment staples like Bonesplitter and Sword of Sinew and Steel instead of mythic swords.
