Herp derp, need to read better.

wow i played this deck in untap.in and won turn two the first try this is amazing

after going through the decklist I noticed 2 cards that seemed out of place. that would be nazahn, revered blacksmith and Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist nazahn only has a single artifact to fetch which means after that he no longer has a purpose replacing him with another card to protect sisay would greatly improve its function. the same stands for mirri you could replace her with Crawlspace as an example or even Silent Arbiter

TwistdGod Firstly Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith... this is a legendary GW creature that can be played as Flash (Via Yeva, Nature's Herald) and tutors a win condition - Umbral Mantle or even Lightning Greaves. It only has to have that one condition :)

Captain Sisay is quite protected as it is.

Secondly Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist is again a tutorable control card that can be flashed in via Yeva. How are we to get Crawlspace or Silent Arbiter?

Hey there,

I'm not arguing...I've been thinking of those additions myself, Nazahn has many fun avenues of 2nd tier tutoring to dream up.

Just wondering what win-con searching those artifacts creates? is it the 2nd part to a 2 part con? If you could quick update me on the exact combo I'd appreciate it.

Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith tutors for Umbral Mantle.... with Selvala, Heart of the Wilds you have infinite mana to bring out every legendary via Captain Sisay, to win with infinite creatures of Oketra the True, kill with Walking Ballista etc

Gotcha... There are many ways to blitz out infinite mana with Selvala (as long as she is already out or hasted), but I do agree that this is one of the more accessible combos out there.

I may have to mull that one over, I originally wasn't too thrilled with my Umbral Mantle performance, but being able to search up Umbral Mantle could change the story, especially considering he nets 4 mana any color for Selvala. 7 mana - (6 for Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith & one leftover for Selvala) is pretty attainable in Sisay for sure.

I love the deck and it seems really consistent. I can't find an easy way to win against it. My only problem is the $2,600 price tag, but everyone likes thier foils! I would get the layman's version though. That altered art looks great! How was it made?

How come your not running Instill Energy and Concordant Crossroads? Also if your running paradox engine you should be able to go infinite on turn 3 to 4. So there's no need for high end creatures like avacyn and ulamog. You are also missing boreal druid, he's another 1 drop that taps for mana. Also Hokori, the Dust Drinker is cheaper than kamahl and elesh. He would potentially shut down your opponent(s) Not sure why a lot of captain sisay decks don't run mindslaver, I personally love the card in 1v1 or multiplayer because it can turn the tide big time. Also with mistveil plains you can infinite mindslaver someone. Yomiji, who bars the way is also another fantastic add with yosei, the morning star and a sacrifice outlet like your blasting station and miren. Saffi the eriksdotter should be in every captain deck to for the cheap legend drop and good ability. Otherwise I like the deck and think you are on the right track.

Nice deck! I would suggest Living Plane to combo with your Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and your Linvala, Keeper of Silence. Also, a fun way to put it in play is Academy Rector. It also fetches a few of your other utility cards.

TCat769 I agree, Living Plane should be an auto include if you have one lying around. Academy Rector is also a good addition and then toss in Eldritch Evolution, a successfully cast evolution on rector should win you the game by grabbing Linvala and living plane.

Calebthelion, you can always use Nature's Revolt instead. It isn't quite as good, but much cheaper as far as money goes. Also, yes, Academy Rector with Eldritch Evolution is GG. Good catch!

I think this is a pretty decent though there are definitely too many highs cmc bombs that just aren't good enough for cEDH and don't do much in the way of getting you a win. I mean first off, you should cut Akroma's Memorial and toss in Concordant Crossroads, sure it isn't tutorable but it doesn't need to be when you can draw your deck with the addition of Cloudstone Curio. Also, you don't need haste half the time cause Sisay has a great line using Bontu's Monument with curio out to kill table which is far easier to pull off than past combos using Aetherflux Reservoir. Other notable cuts that should be made are dragonlord, and avacyn. I'd probably toss in yisan and Quirion Ranger as it gives you an excellent way to break parity in more stax heavy games.

Would there be any planeswalkers that you/you guys would include since they are legendary now with the release of Ixalan. I was thinking about trying out Nissa, Vital Force as a searchable card to be able to retrieve Paradox Engine after it gets hit by Krosan Grip or something. Maybe Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury for the searchable -2 Naturalize. Garruk Wildspeaker isnt bad either to untap Gaea's Cradle, idk how worth while he is at 4cmc but Nissa, Vital Force can also untap a land but at a risk.

I use Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury. Pretty strong move if you frequently use parallel stax like I do - you know searchable dorks for when you have Hokori, Dust Drinker out

I use Gaddock Teeg a LOT now. So with that in mind I have added Gideon of the Trials and Kytheon, Hero of Akros  ^Flip now has an additional role. And they work brilliantly... a searchable easy cast Platinum Angel-esque card.

Don't really see the relevance of other Planeswalkers at the moment due to my fondness of using Teeg.

MUAHAHAHAHAH I AM WITHIN 9 VOTES OF CATCHING UP TO YOU, FEAR MEEEEEE

But PartyJ, have you considered any Planeswalkers yet?

Any reason you're not using Arid Mesa? :V

I can't say enough how happy I am to have found this deck. I have now rebuilt my entire deck in the image of this one and it's fantastic. My playgroup has now been through several games against Sisay and they fear how consistent she is. They know that if Sisay sticks around for even one turn, it's too late. It's awesome.

I didn't directly copy your list, but I did take a majority of the shell. One of the cards that I have the most curiosity about is Solemnity. I don't really see the synergy that I would expect with that card. Can you explain why you play that?

Actually, truth be told, there are a couple cards that you play here that I'm a bit confused on. I understand the "meta call" cards like hushwing griff but I don't quite understand Miri or loyal retainers.

Loyal retainers is pretty good utility, but it's not tutorable. I also don't see any Saffi shenanigans to go with it. I could see maybe something like a saffi/ bontu's monument loop or something like that.

What about Alhammarret's Archive? If all your legends are cantrips with Reki then why not double it?

It'd make it twice as fast to find your non legend combo pieces.

Uh why did my comment post twice.....................

Great Primer. How about Natural Affinity? Wrecks house in every green deck I play, rattlesnake against board wipes, and Wincon built into a cheap Instant!

you must include Timmy, Power Gamer
