Ever wanted to play Paradox Engine in the command zone? Well with Captain Sisay not only can you tutor it consistently, but use her as a card draw engine while going off with it. Just tutor 1 drop legends like Rhys the Redeemed to untap all your Elves and net mana. Do that until you have enough to to tutor for 1 of 2 combos

Combos

Captain Sisay + Paradox Engine + Mana Dorks/Rocks = cast every cheap legend in deck and net mana

Paradox Engine + Mana Dorks/Rocks + Cloudstone Curio + 2 Cheap Nonartifacts = Infinite Mana

Stages of the Game

Stage Zero: Opening Hand

Your ideal hand has about 2-3 land and 1-2 mana dorks one of which allows you to play Captain Sisay on Turn 2 or 3

Stage One: Ramp

The first part of the game plan is to just play out your hand of Mana accelerants or Dorks. Remember that it's not always the correct play to play Sisay as early as possible is you don't have an established board mana dorks (ideally a total of Mana dorks that can tap for 3 and some white source), because it will make your explosive turn earlier, but substantially less effective.

Stage Two: Assemble the Combo

1. Cast Captain Sisay with a at least 3 mana dorks

2. Untap with her

3. Tutor up Paradox Engine

4. Cast Paradox Engine with Mana available to cast another small spell and untap

5. After you untap float all your mana and tutor up a 1 drop legend (ex.Hope of Ghirapur)

6. Repeat Process 5 until you have enough mana floating to do either end game steps in Step 3: Finishing

Stage Three: Finishing

Combat Damage Kill

Once you have a large board of Legends and plenty of mana tutor and cast Heroes' Podium and Akroma's Memorial to swing for Lethal.

Stax

Once you have a large board of Legends and plenty of mana you can tutor your Stax pieces (card:Thalia, Gardian of Thraben, Thalia, Heretic Cathar, Hokori, Dusk Drinker , Gaddock Teeg) to keep them from messing with your board until you can kill them.
