My take on Sisay mana denial. Tweaking is still going on. Currently the deck's main win condition is to shut down opponents' lands through one of the following combos: Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite + Kamahl, Fist of Krosa, Norn + Living Plane , and Linvala, Keeper of Silence + Plane. Additional options may be explored down the road.

the deck's main strategy is to ramp into Sisay turn 2-3, then begin delving into her veritable toolbox of answers for the best cards to slow down or shut down my opponents. Sometimes this is dropping an Armageddon and immediately tutoring up Gaea's Cradle. Sometimes it's chaining Fauna Shaman/Survival of the Fittest into a reanimated Iona, Shield of Emeria. And sometimes it's grabbing Gaddock Teeg, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, or Hokori, Dust Drinker to efficiently stop specific strategies.

I revised the deck by replacing some under-performing cards (Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Loxodon Gatekeeper, Chancellor of the Annex) with more powerful cards (Null Rod, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Carpet of Flowers, Priest of Titania, etc.) The land count was trimmed down slightly to reflect the increased amount of early game ramp.

A second win condition in the form of iona, shield of emeraria was added. The ability to easily cheat her into play with Fauna Shaman or Survival of the Fittest pitching her to find Loyal Retainers is just too amazing not to run. She is also often used as a second target for Tooth and Nail if Kamahl or Elesh Norn are already in play, all but forcing opponents to scoop by creating an entirely unbeatable board state.
