So, I saw Reid Duke's Yisan deck, and I was thrilled. The deck looked absolutely amazing, and I was ready to play it.

However, some of the cards can be a little expensive, so I decided to try and see if I could "budgetize" it.

This is the result.

The dream opening hand is 2x Forest, Island, Elvish Mystic, Yisan, Kiora's Follower, and Prophet of Kruphix.

Turn one you'd play Forest + Mystic.

Turn two you'd play Forest + Yisan.

Turn Three you'd play Island and then use Yisan to get another Mystic.

Turn four you'd play Prophet of Kruphix . On you're opponent's turn, use Yisan, get more creatures, etc. Once you have this much board control, there's no stopping this deck.

So, here's the important combo-

Kiora's Follower + Prophet of Kruphix + Yisan, the Wanderer Bard . Yisan is a little slow on his own, but these cards help him to ramp very quickly.

I'm looking for some sideboard help, but any suggestions are welcome!
