At this point you might be thinking, okay Yisan is good at 1vs1, but what about multiplayer? And the answer is, he's awesome. The more opponents you have the stronger this deck is. The main reason for that is because there are so many cards that do things at instant speed 'once per turn.' Quirion ranger and scryb ranger can untap Yisan on every player's turn, and those lands can be put into play with burgeoning on their turns too which is doubly good if you have lotus cobra in play. Wall of roots and wirewood symbiote can help with mana and other things on everyone's turn but the most ridiculously powerful card Yisan uses is seedborn muse. At that point I just wait for someone to do something and I respond by activating Yisan 1-3 times to nullify your opponents' plans and create a more powerful board state.

Since Yisan is a tutor general, you can afford to fill your deck with ramp, disruption, and haste enablers. You'll start by casting Yisan on turn 1-2, and then using him to put quirion ranger and/or scryb ranger into play (and/or maybe wirewood symbiote) to get multiple Yisan activations each turn. I'll also usually put sylvan safekeeper to protect Yisan or phyrexian revoker in play to shut down other combo cards. After I cast Yisan, I'll usually get seedborn muse on the battlefield 1-2 turns later, at which point Yisan can ruin your opponents plans and create an all-powerful board state. Basically, as soon as you land seedborn, you're damn near unbeatable.

Another gameplan is to use Yisan to chain into wirewood symbiote and elvish visionary (perhaps in the same turn, using the symbiote). And then the following turn, double-activate Yisan (using the symbiote to untap him) to put two 4cmc creatures into play: temur sabertooth and karametra's acolyte. Then the symbiote returns the visionary to untap the acolyte for more mana, and that mana is used to bounce the symbiote with the sabertooth so you can recast both creatures and do it all over again. The end result is drawing your deck and making infinite mana.
