Paradox Sisay with Kozilek

I played with Bow of Nylea alone in the beginning and I'm not convinced about its usability when it comes down to running against a wall of counters and removal. The recursion ability enables fetching loops but as an actual recursion, for example when something important (engine maybe) got removed or countered, it's not as practical as it should be imo. For example having the bow countered means the stuff you wanted to get back will stay where it is. The other modes are actually pretty weak for that amount of mana. I have added Kozilek, who shuffles itself back into the library along with the graveyard when landing there. Let's say Paradox Engine got lost and I Need to get it back. Instead of possibly running into another counter with bow and spending a search and a turn for nothing, I'll the titan and get the cast effect for sure, then either shuffle back the graveyard (if it's countered) or get the fat annihilator beater actually in play. Another aspect of that change is that Survival of the Fittest enables uncounterable graveyard shuffling. Sure, 10 mana is more than 5 but it's easy to get in this deck and I'd rather make an impact for sure instead of possibly wasting a turn with no effect. Bow is still in use, also for recursion during the engine combo, but because of the deathtouch and dmg on flyers as well.

Engine Combo

The combo win with Paradox Engine in this deck doesn't have an actual outlet to end the game immediately but that's not needed at all and it saves space for other cards. This is how the line with a completely empty board besides Sisay would look:

Search for Paradox Engine and cast it, then cast another spell to untap Sisay - the only requirement is to have mana for engine and another spell, then...
- fetch and cast Mox Amber ()
- fetch and cast Mox Opal ()
- fetch and cast Seton, Krosan Protector ()
- fetch and cast Rishkar, Peema Renegade ()
- now we have two druids for Seton, so we can produce 4 mana in total without having to give creatures haste
- fetch and cast all legendary cards in the deck one by one...
- Kataki, War's Wage ()
- Umezawa's Jitte ()
- Urza's Ruinous Blast if needed ()
- God-Eternal Oketra ()
- Yisan, the Wanderer Bard ()
- Thalia, Heretic Cathar ()
- Bow of Nylea ()
- The cmc 4 legends Karn, the Great Creator , Linvala, Keeper of Silence , Hokori, Dust Drinker ()
- God-Pharaoh's Statue ()
- Thalia, Guardian of Thraben ()
- end with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite ( left in pool)

Any additional nonland mana sources or other creatures without summoning sickness before starting the engine combo as well as additional cheap spells in hand result in more excess mana during the process. Stax Pieces that hinder us during the engine turn could be removed by casting an Urza's Ruinous Blast inbetween (if we want to use Gaddock Teeg as a meta choice, attack and kill Gaddock with Jitte if necessary) and it's easy to play around unavailable pieces with that setup. An option with more cards in hand is for example to cast Rishkar and give Sisay the counter, so she can tap for mana as well, then generate extra mana by casting nonlegendary stuff from your hand. When all legendary cards are in play as described above, a deterministic win con is irrelevant because having them all and casting Urza's Ruinous Blast on top of that disables the opponents anyway for several turns in a row.

Oketra has proven worthy as a great beater on a staxed out table outside the combo. With her in the deck, the engine turn provides further 4/4 zombies in addition to the legends and that would be a total amount of damage that can kill a whole table in one attack during the mid game.
