Amazing deck, I like your style! Just stole Tempting Contract, Gate to the AEther and Boldwyr Heavyweights for my Kaervek the Merciless enabler deck, thanks! Check it out, maybe you stumble across an artifact or red spell for your deck ;-) Kaervek the Instigater

ClockworkSwordfish on Winota's Legends

If you want to really make Winota sing, the answer is tokens! She can only pull human cards out of your library, so the nonhuman versions of the same aren't pulling as much weight as they could. If you drop something like Dragon Fodder or Raise the Alarm , however, that means two creatures who get to dig for a big, powerful human when they attack! Cards like Spectral Procession and Lingering Souls just up the numbers even more from there. Sure, the tokens probably won't live through combat, but when they're replacing themselves with fatties like Cabal Patriarch , Greven, Predator Captain and Kaervek the Merciless ... well, you probably won't mind too much!

Very cool. I like all the free spells and I especially like how you included the old-school Nightscape Familiar .

I'm curious about why Sakashima is in here. What does it do? Just be a blue partner or another copy of Vial Smasher?

You might like to add a few ways to deal with graveyard-based decks, or recur your own spells. Cards like Mizzix's Mastery or Commit / Memory might be good.

With all the free spells, you might run out of cards to play. Something like Day's Undoing would help to play at the end of the turn, letting you refresh your hand with instants to play on opponents' turns.

Cards to remove for these:

• Kaervek the Merciless --> Mizzix's Mastery

• Mogis, God of Slaughter --> Day's Undoing

• Mystic Remora --> Commit / Memory

I second Kaervek the Merciless but I also think with those cards you mentioned that they would fit well in a Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip deck. But I have built a kaervek deck and he just wins games. He is so good. I especially like playing him and punishing the players who pass turn. This always keeps the salt to a minimum

Since you’re already doing mean things you could telegraph it with Kaervek the Merciless ?

Wound Reflection could fit, it also combos with Havoc Festival. Temporal Extortion as life loss or possible take another turn. Rain of Gore to prevent lifegain, maybe Kaervek the Merciless

bosny on Sisay Garna Kaervek Gerrard?

theFro they're not banned so much as not yet legal

thanks for the insights! i put this together half asleep one night, definitely just a prototype atm

i think i want to, like, get Pitiless Plunderer online, make loads of treasures off of creatures dying so i can kill a bunch off with Kaervek the Merciless or even Massacre Girl, have them come back to hand with Garna, the Bloodflame or play with Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero, repeat and then maybe win off of Syr Konrad, the Grim or such

mostly i feel like sisay decks tend to be "legendary goodstuff" and i wanted to play with the idea of a combo, secret commanders deck - she essentially allows you to partner anyt
