This is a dorky Captain Sisay brew I've been working on for a few years.

At first, the deck was more combat and creature synergy focused, but over time and the release of a few key cards the deck has adapted a more combo and efficiency based approach.

I've noticed that the deck runs a little lighter on lands and mana sources than some decks, but it's surprisingly efficient.

Bit of a shame Paradox Engine was banned, but it's disgusting in this deck and I figured it was only a matter of time before the ban hammer caught up to it.
I figured it'd be similar for Jeweled Lotus but man that stings. At least I pulled my lotus instead of buying it. I expect that's a different kind of sting.

I know I'm missing some of the real neato lands for Sisay, like Savannah and Gaea's Cradle (this was originally written when Cradle was under $300.) but because they keep climbing in price it doesn't seem likely any time soon.

Guess I should add some info about the card inclusions and lines in this deck.
Okay kids. Buckle up.
Sisay is a great engine. Play her, dig for legendary junk. She's great. Fauna Shaman works in a pinch (especially if I have Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre in hand). Vivien, Monsters' Advocate is also pretty good. Lets us drop a dude to dig for another dude. There's some combo lines that use Vivien, but worst case I can drop a 3 or 4 cost creature and dig for Stoneforge Mystic.
