When I saw Captain Sisay, I immediately thought about how much fun it would be to run an all legends deck. Or as close to that as possible. She acts like a tutor every single turn, allowing me to search for whatever card I could need to act as an answer to whatever the opponent throws at me. Honestly it's kind of like some sort of a swiss army knife. Something for everything. As of right now, I really need help thinking of more lands to throw in here.

As far as combo's go, one of the more fun ones is Isao, Enlightened Bushi + Sensei Golden-Tail . With the good Sensei training everyone into badass samurais, Isao then provides them with a reliable regeneration source.

Another is Hua Tuo, Honored Physician + Yomiji, Who Bars the Way . Yomiji keeps all my legends from staying in the graveyard, and if they manage to kill him then Hua Tuo gives him some miracle medicine and lets me draw him next turn.

One more would be Azusa, Lost but Seeking and Budoka Gardener / Dokai, Weaver of Life for all that mana ramp. Then Omnath, Locus of Mana + Patron of the Orochi + Polukranos, World Eater . Essentially let Omnath get big as hell for a while, which by itself can be pretty intimidating. And eventually put a ton of that mana into Polukranos turning monstrous for either a semi board wipe, or just a big fat hydra.

For specific cards that in my opinion really kick ass, I'd say the angels Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Iona, Shield of Emeria, and Linvala, Keeper of Silence. They can all shutdown the opponent pretty hard. Other notable cards would be Eight-and-a-Half-Tails, Jareth, Leonine Titan, Gaddock Teeg, Reki, the History of Kamigawa, Tolsimir Wolfblood, and Yisan, the Wanderer Bard simply because he can allow me to throw out creatures I don't have the mana for if he lives long enough.

For cards I'm expecting to get some flak on based on reviews and the like, two stick out in my mind. Lord Magnus and Untaidake, the Cloud Keeper. As far as I could see, everyone disliked Magnus because he stopped creatures with Plainswalk, a somewhat uncommon ability. However they neglected to mention that he also stops Forestwalk, a much more common ability. The fact that he stops both landwalks that could affect my deck (other than legendary landwalkers) is what convinced me to include him. And as for Untaidake, I agree, normally it is useless. But a Sisay deck is the only deck type I can think of where it actually is pretty decent.

I'm pretty much willing to listen to any solid advice, as long as it isn't something too weird. Some cards I really want to fit in the deck but don't know what to take out are Mask of Avacyn and Swiftfoot Boots for the hexproof, since I rely on my general so much for the fetches. Concerted Effort, Honor of the Pure, True Conviction, and Gaea's Anthem since I run so many creatures and these buff them up considerably.

Sorry about the huge maybeboard, I know it's screwing up my mana curve on here. But that's another thing I need yalls help with. If you see anything in there that would be better than something in the deck let me know, or if it's trash in the maybe board let me know so I can remove it.
