Greetings! Along with my weekly articles, i'll be dropping a deck list I find interesting, or worth note. If the deck was made by someone else, i'll be sure to make note of it, and if you would like your vary own EDH to be featured email me at [email protected].

For the first couple entry's, I decided we should start with some more familiar commanders, and the who I find to be the most welcoming is the Captain. captain sissy is not only a fairly simple simple commander, but unique in the fact that it's core concept is "tutor for good stuff". "T: get a Jitte", or "T: Find an answer to what they guy across from you is doing" is pretty powerful. A lot of the time, when I look at sissay EDH I think Birthing pod decks in modern, because it too can just find answers on the spot. With some powerful pros, she does have her cons. If you read my first article, i discus the pros and cons of commander based decks, and while they present some powerful synergy, they are often the very same reason they lose. Hinder is a true nightmare to decks like these if done early, especially when you can't generate buffer to protect yourself from such. while this may sound preachy like "dies to doomblade" argument, depending on your setting, that very well maybe be something you have to watch for.

Overall I really love her, and I think she fits every budget. Unique playstyle, and competitive in any level, makes me recommend her as a commander to anyone, at any level, and regardless if you ever are willing to build it, take the time to at least playtest it online, or appreciate a commander, because she is literally a staple in the format.
