I did a big trade with train and got a few multi-players
cards I've been wanting to build decks around. One of the
cards I got from him was Captain Sisay. I'm not sure
how best to abuse here ability so the deck list below
is just a rough draft. This mess is for "multi-player" so
please keep that in mind when looking at this pile of
extremely high casting cost cards.

Captain Sisay
Casting Cost 2GW
Card Type Creature Legend
P/T 2/2
Rules Text T: Search your library for a Legend or legendary
card, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Then
shuffle your library.

As everyone probably knows I'm a theme deck player so
I've tryed to keep this deck on the "legend" theme as
much as possible. Its kind of hard to build a two color
legend deck. Most of the legends have a high casting
cost but in MP games I should be able to survive long
enough to cast some of them.

Everyone else decided to put away the Tribe decks for
awhile but I've got to try this theme based deck just
for the heck of it.

Can ya help?

I'm also working on a creature "Domain" based deck idea
but I don't have a complete decklist yet. I'll probably
post one within a couple of days to get your feedback
on it too.

Thanks,
CC

You can use her in a fun little five-colour deck w/ cool cards like Show and Tell - or, if you can get your mitts on the Legendary Dragons from Legends (or Chronicles) you can have lots of fun!

Cpt Sissy allows you to fetch Legendary permanants so you could use Gaea's Cradle for some acceleration and Sword of the Chosen to pump them up. I have a legends deck with Elvish Pipers in it to put the expensive (and off color) guys out plus they make a nice surprize blockers.

Thanks for the replies.

I'd probably need to build a multi-color version to get the best
use out of Dragon Arch. I'll keep that in mind if/when I rebuild.

Sword of the Chosen, oh my gawd. I now have a deck to put
it in. I do have one, somewhere. I thought about the Cradle
but I don't have enough low CC spells to use it as a fast mana
source. Its good though. I throw one since I can fetch it. I
don't have any Pipers but if I did they'd probably be in there
too.

The five color version sound like a lot of fun. Show & Tell, Dragon
Arch, Invasion Dragons and random Gold fatties would be a
blast. If someone would like to share there 5 color version
I'd love to see it.

Thanks,
CC

I'm building something similar...5 colour -with a bias towards Blue with Dragon Arch, Sisay, big fat Goldies (all the "real" dragon legends, Show and Tell, Shyft and (dum,dum,dum) Coalition Victory.

Go on...you know you want to.

Oh, to have Nichol, Vaevictis and Palladia in play at once...

There are three in the deck. I'm thinking Wrath, play Hunting
Grounds, wait for one of my opponents to play something,
slap down a fattie. Need Threshold, of course.

Hopfully, I'll find out next week.

Finally I´m online again...

I think I´ve posted an old version of my type 1.5 Legends deck a long time ago. But that doesnt prevent me from doing it again.
Its 5 collor but with a strong green base, to find the right duals. With fetchlands it should be possible to make a 5 collor deck without a strong green base.

The key card is sneak attack, but In MP at least 2 should be replaced with dragon arch.

THE LEGENDARY DECK

mana base:

4 taiga
2 bayou
1 savannah
1 tropical island
4 city of brass
1 undiscovered paradise
1 reflecting pool
3 karakas -sneak attack+ Karakas works really good!
1 volraths stronghold
4 land grant
4 natures lore
4 eladamris vineyard

creatures:
4 captain sisay
1 timmy power gamer
1 phelddagrif -makes creatures to trigger DotH
1 adum oakenshield -actually this rarely works, but I like him
1 angus mackenzie -fog each turn is nice...
1 starke of rath -bounce him after use -might be replaced with Visara, but she cant destroy artifacts.
1 kamahl pit fighter -beatdown and creature control in one.
1 dromar the banisher -can bounce himself if sneaked
1 rith the awakener -its big, it flies, and it makes creatures...
1 treva the renewer -I need a Legend who gives me lifes. There are no good ones, but this one is big and flies, and is a DRAGON!
1 zirilan of the claw -dragon tutor and sneak attack in one
1 sliver queen -plain good, and mana sink
1 autumn willow -nice to have, and mana sink
1 kamahl, fist of krosa -Does the big kamahl+pernicious deed trick.
-maybe even the smaller Kamahl+Kamahl trick. Or gives overrun to riths saprolings and sliver tokens.

other stuff:

4 sneak attack
1 dragon arch
3 pernicious deed
1 earthquake -same use as deed, but protects my vineyards.
1 legacy weapon
1 unnatural selection -fun card which works with karakas. But is too often destoyed with deed.
1 sword of the chosen -also not a very good choise, but this IS a Legends deck.
1 defense of the heart -in MP I would play 4, but in duels its often a dead card. Anyway it comboes with Phelddagrif.


That was the deck as it is right now. It works fine, and there are a lot of space for experimenting. I tried guided passage, but it didnt work. "I give you a land, a natures lore, and some utility creature you cant use against my deck".
Revive and gaeas blessing are obvious possibilities. But in a 5c deck many thing is possible.

I hope you can use this. And if anyone have some ideas, please share them with me :)

Just remember the mana base. Blue legends and legends which cost more than one of a non-green, non-red collor are not popular...

Ah, this is one of my favorite (and oldest) decks. I feel like I'll have this sucker built forever.

Consider Belbe's Portal to get you biggun's out at tremendous advantage to you. Also allows you to go a little more crazy with your colors if you so choose. It's a better guarantee than Hunting Grounds, and with acceleration you can be cheating out fatties by turn 5 (as instants). It's also superior to Dragon Arch in here, as every creature you'll really want to cheat out won't necessarily be Gold.

Don't forget that Sisay can also get Legendary permanents. Good ones to go fetch are:
Karakas (a necessity)
Yavimaya Hollow
Kor Haven
Predator Flagship
Mirari (not really in this deck though)

I'd consider splashing blue if only for Hanna (esp if you put in Portal, Arch, or Quicksilver Amulet), but blue also gives you access to Treva, Ertai, Rubinia Soulsinger, and Phelddagrif.

Sorry for the delay..........


Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have a single Karakas. But I
will be getting one of two in the near future. All of those ideas
sound great to me. I'll try to put up a new deck idea later this
week.(four or five colors, something similiar to Kb's design)


Mike,.........Glad to see your back :)

when abusing legends, always remember the quicksilver amulet.

Use it with Sisay to pull out the "sisay" Phage. :p

I've posted this before...but it's kinda relevant to this topic...
***********************************************

For some reason, I completely forgot this happened, but my long-time Magic buddy Jason Hutto (author of "The Many Colors of Masticore" from The Dojo) deemed me a crazy bastard that he always loses to and how he remembers "The Regenerating Disk Deck".

The Regenerating Disk Deck is not built around Nev Disk. It is a multiplayer deck packed full of all my Legends like Sliver Queen, Sol'kanar, Mirri, Multani, and Dakkon Blackblade. Also there are things like Shivan Gorge, Legacy Weapon, and nice multiplayer artifacts like Howling Mines and of course Nev Disks.

One day, at a nice multiplayer game, the Legends deck was performing nicely with all my colors in play while Crovax the Cursed was eating Squee every turn, pumping up Asmira Holy Avenger. When the game got out of hand, I blew a Nev Disk, but did something clever. I made the Nev Disk a 4/4 with Karn Silver Golem, then I regenerated it with Yavimaya Hollow. =)

I kept getting Karn back with Volrath's Stronghold and I just kept blowing up the world and regenerating my Disk with Yavimaya Hollow. To this day, I have never seen anyone else regenerate a Nevinyrral's Disk.

You also need Volraths Stronghold (or maybe Corpse Dance or simillar), to make it work more than once.
