    I’ve had this deck for 3+ years when cEDHtv showed it off for the first time. It’s amazing how much the last year has VASTLY improved the quality of this deck. Treasures are secretly the very best thing for this deck too which is why I have been so happy including Smothering Tithe in the deck.
    Awesome video!! Made some changes and super excited to try them.

    Took my build to a 2k here in MI a few weeks ago and finished 4th. It definitely exploits the fact that its hard to interact with and because there are so many ways to win, your opponents really have no idea what is coming other then a Sisay activation....
    The deck is also a giant puzzle which is crazy fun to play!

    My buddy has been playing this deck for a long time, weve seen so many iterations. One thing I can tell you is Cultist is absolutely bonkers. it makes everything so easy, turns sisay into the best blocker, and can suprise people. also gets around grafdiggers, if you dont have enough to grab teferi

    My Sisay deck is what I’ve been playing the longest. With Drannith, Lavinia, and Teferi in the deck… I can’t help but add Possibility storm as a wincon. Even without the lockout, you can play through it with Sisay activations.

    Awesome content Ian! I've seen some lists going towards a more reactive gameplan - passing turn with mana up, tutoring for disrupting pieces at the right time, some even using RoL effects - I know this is more of a proactive list, but in your experience would you say the deck can adapt to that gameplan if necessary? (if you're up against 1 or 2 much faster decks for example)

    I've been trying to figure out if I can sneak a Maralen setup into my non-cEDH Sisay deck, the Maralen stuff is for pods where I seem ill prepared, it's mostly a matter of finding a good way to protect Maralen, because I can already endstep tutor her up, meaning I can just grab my Oppo (and probably another Legend with Sisay). It's a nice contrat from the 11 Shrines the deck also runs, for when I brought an AK to a water fight and need to self-nerf, tutoring out Shrines is good but nowhere near busted.
    Thanks for your ideas/list, I don't think I'd have thought of using Aminatou like that, I use Zur as backup route to infinite WUBRGs (he can find Sanctum Weaver and an untap aura), definitely worth looking at the PW options you list!

    Ian what are your thoughts on Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer?

Interested to hear your thoughts as to why it's not seeing as much play.

    @hayokamikaze5896 Před rokem

    I think one of the hidden strengths of 5c Aminatou is that this is a deck that's incredibly easy for Wizards to print new cards for these days. There's so much demand for new legendary creatures that do vaguely advantagey or comboey things, being able to access all of modern card design for 5 mana is hilarious.

    I added W&6, cheap PW that helps you a lot with 10 fetches getting early your colors, also functions as a wincon with infinite flickers and +2+2 to sisay in difficult colors which is critical to access your easiest chains (selvala + derevi + tyvar), same applies to Katilda, and a lot of our creatures happen to be humans.

  • @DrkNinja_
    @DrkNinja_ Před 11 měsíci

    So I actually play a version of this deck that's in the high power / optimized range and I actually play agent of the Shadow thieves, and I just attack whoever is the player with the highest life total so that Sissay gets indestructibility and he gets a +1/+1. This kind of serves two functions, one it increases her power which means I can tutor cards with higher casting costs, the other is that it gives her indestructible and then I can go off and do all the things I want to do as far as like pulling cards of the deck.
    My version of this deck is also a Planeswalker focused deck, and the only legendary creatures that are in the deck either are there to assist my planeswalkers or help keep me alive, as a great example pramikon literally makes it so I only have to worry about one opponent attacking me. I know your deck's different, and I know it's CEDH but I also would just like to say Teferi who sets the Sun has been a fucking All-Star in this deck, usually I use him to untap Bloom tender and the chain veil so that I get infinite activations of my planeswalkers but he can do a lot especially with the aminatou flicker combo

  • @craigarndt1325
    @craigarndt1325 Před rokem

    I wonder if you took out Sakashima or Sahili Rai (or any 2 cards) and replaced them with a Teferi who slows the sunset and The Chain Veil. Sisay for Teferi, untap 3 things to Sisay again for Oath, untap 3 things to sisay for Bolas, Bolas copies Teferi to untap and sisay for the Fatesifter, reset either Teferi or Bolas for another sisay and get The Chain Veil. Now you can use that untap mana for infinite chain veils With Teferi and Bolas both taking turns untapping Chain Veil you can give Bolas infinite loyalty and blow up all legends you don't control and ult to win the game.

    • @ikeep3
      @ikeep3 Před rokem +2

      There are a lot of lists that do play Najeela in the 99, however a lot of the big names of the Sisay community (that don't run Jeggy as companion) do not really prefer using her just because she feels unnecessary, is a little slow, and doesn't lend herself to other combos easily. It totally can work though, but it just depends on what you want to be doing with the list. As Ian said, the deck is super flexible and all the pieces try to work together to make wins happen out of nowhere. Almost anything can work in Sisay, just depends on your meta and personal preferences

    How many counters would Sisay need to tutor up Esika for the backside?

      Reading the rules, it’s not possible to get the backside sadly. In the deck only the front side of MDFC is seen. I can only tutor the creature part. Rule 711. Hope this helps

    23 minutes in you say, all these win conditions we've been talking about, and I don't think I saw a single one by that time. Infinite mana, ok, what was the win condition you talked about?
