Introduction

The deck looks to disrupt our opponents using Sisay to find stax planeswalkers. It has quick pivots into wins using Dockside Extortionist and Bolas's Citadel.

Deck Creation

This deck has taken a long time to get to where it is. It started because my meta had several curious control decks and everyone's card engines had 3 toughness. I built a Kraum, Ludevic's Opus and Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper deck using Anger of the Gods effects to disrupt my opponent's card advantage. I wasn't happy with where the deck ended up and scrapped it. I rebuilt it 2 more times and became more dependent on planeswalkers every time because I could protect them so well. Eventually I realized that Sisay, Weatherlight Captain could shore up some of the weaknesses of the old versions, namely ending the game and having the right answer on time.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths Show

• Plays well into grindy metas
• Has protected wins with Teferi, Time Raveler
• Planeswalkers are difficult to interact with
• Has stax pieces to disrupt most decks
• Can have aggressive wins using Bolas's Citadel
• Utilizes Anger of the Gods effects to set everyone else back while protecting our stax
• Sisay activations dodge countermagic

Weaknesses Show

• Has trouble against Null Rod and Cursed Totem
• Commander reliant
• Kraum, Ludevic's Opus exists
• Needs to make WUBRG mana to generate card advantage

Should I Play this Deck

You should play this deck if:

• Your meta is dominated by Thrasios, Triton Hero
• Games go long and people sandbag wins
• There is little to no stax in your meta

You should not play this deck if:

• There are several Kraum, Ludevic's Opus deck in your meta
• You play against aggressive decks that want to win early
• Everyone runs Cursed Totem decks

Gameplan

Early Game

The first few turns are usually spent acquiring WUBRG mana and deploying Sisay. Sequencing between playing a walker, a wrath and Sisay can be awkward at times. Sometimes taking a turn to do nothing before an Anger of the Gods is correct so our opponents overextend and lose everything. Tutoring for Dockside Extortionist can lead to fast wins or extra Sisay activations.

Midgame

At this point, We can begin activating Sisay to disrupt out opponents. The ability is instant speed so we can wait until an opponent makes a relevant game action to find an Ashiok, Dream Render or Narset, Parter of Veils.

Ending the Game

This deck has the ability to win very early or play a long game before finding a win. Every win line requires a card that can't be found by Sisay, so Sidisi, Undead Vizier can come in handy.

Barrin Dockside Show

If our opponents have 6 or more treasures we can win by using Barrin, Master Wizard to bounce Dockside Extortionist and make infinite treasures. We then loop Venser, Shaper Savant and Wrenn and Six to kill the table.

Jace Pact Show

The only instant speed win in the deck is finding Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and casting a Tainted Pact to exile our deck.

Citadel Show

Bolas's Citadel provides this deck with its easiest way to win. Finding it early can often whiff on a win, but still puts us very far ahead. Finding it late with an extra activation available or walkers with draw effects almost always ends the game.

Mulligans

With all that in mind, mulliganning with this deck feels different than other cEDH decks. We often look for mostly mana with one or two pieces of interaction and one 2 color legend. Wrenn and Six and a fetch is one of the best interactions in the beginning of the game and if it sticks around can develop into two sisay activations. The cantrips help smooth out future draws by helping to not draw 3+ mana cards all game.

Single Card Discussion

Legends

1CMC

Oath of Nissa Show

The only good 1 drop, it serves it’s purpose of sticking around forever. It’s also fun to cast Wrenn and Six off ancient tomb.

2CMC

Path of Mettle   Show

I’ve found Wrenn and Six dying too often when there’s a Kraum deck and this provides 2 colors for Sisay. The wrath is good against dork decks and can mess up opponent’s combat math.

Umezawa's Jitte Show

All abilities on this have been relevant; buffing power by 4, removal, and life gain for citadel turns. It lets you try for a citadel win the turn after you find it.

Wrenn and Six Show

A great search early, it can kill 4 toughness creatures with our wraths. If left unchecked, it can find enough lands for 2 activations. It dies to Kraum after 1 hit, so it can be a pain to stick.
