Hi Everyone!
I'm here with my first decklist: Captain Sisay EDH!
I only play with one infinite combo, but the pieces change a lot. My playgroup is highly competitive, so I built this deck to keep up with them. If Sisay comes out later than turn 3, you are pretty much dead
The Goal:
Get Sisay out early via mana dorks and keep her out long enough to tutor up Gaea's Cradle and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger. The third tutor should be for one of the Eldrazi titans, and that can put pressure on the board really fast. Opponents are then forced to use their removal on the new threat, wich is great for you. If you tutored up Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, then just tutor him up again once he dies! If it was Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, he most certainly got tucked into your library (to be tutored for again!) or exiled. After that, this is a toolbox deck. Tutor up the solution to any problem! Is Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon being annoying? Iona, Shield of Emeria solves that! Facing a heavy token deck? Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite ruins their plan pretty well. Mangara of Corondor is strong vs anything, just wait a turn (or Lightning Greaves!)
Infinite Combo!
I am terrible at explaining this combo, so I'll assume you know the synergy between Karmic Guide and Reveillark.
Basically, you have one in the graveyard and a sac outlet on the board. If the Sac outlet is Ashnod's Altar, you get infinite colorless mana. Altar of Dementia mills your opponents, and can be used as a wincon. If you throw a Solemn Simulacrum into the combo (Reveillark gets TWO creatures back from the GY), you draw your entire deck and put all of your basic lands onto the battlefield. If you also have an Acidic Slime, you destroy all opposing lands, artifacts and enchantments! Eternal Witness will get you all of your other cards from your GY to your hand, and Sakura-Tribe Elder lets you put all basic lands from your library onto the battlefield.
I am not a combo player, but in my playgroup you sadly have to run them to win. I have beaten face with Akroma, that is always a fun time
Let me know what you would change, if anything. I don't really want to buy fetches, and Grand Abolisher will be switched for Dosan the Falling Leaf when I can find one. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Combo is fine I guess, It makes for a really interesting game. If I were to build a new deck (as a matter of fact I want to!), it would probably run green because I am really invested money-wise in green right now.
Gaea's Cradle
Foil Tooth and Nail
Foil Chord of Calling
Foil Green Sun's Zenith
Judge promo Survival of the Fittest
....just to name a few
I am looking to make Tooth and Nail a one-card combo, but I can't seem to find anything decent without going out of green. The thing I despise more than combos is blue. So if you were to suggest a fun deck that is still competitive (like Ashling), that would be great! Any ideas of where to start?

Use foil cards are all good in ghave if you don't like blue but work best in bug and bant IMO I too love foils I'm
About to do an updated video im almost all foils aside from fetches and shocks and a few 100$ promos
Honestly this list looks fine if they combo you can use teeg but honestly this list looks fine and more fun
Well, usually the game is finished by a player taking a 10 minute turn leading into an infinite combo or just an infinite combo. Games are rarely won by beatdown and aggro. The most common generals are Lady Evangela with miracles, Grimgrin, Corpse Born with rooftop storm zombie combo, Glissa, the Traitor with the main wincon being Mikaeus Triskelion combo. Kira and Skittles show up frequently as well.

At this point you probably agree with me, but are having a hard time justifying that kind of expense.
Now look at retainers again, then think about deathrender. And reveillark.
Are you convinced yet?
If not, at least put thousand-year elixir in there. Giving sisay haste AND doubling her ability is huge card advantage.
I also like avacyn, angel of hope in my sisay deck but that's largely because of my boardwipe-heavy meta and I like the flavor. I'm considering putting mindslaver in mine since its tutorable.
A common tooth and nail choice I make is elesh + kamahl. Having 'g, destroy target land' in a big-mana deck is nasty. Elesh + living plane is fun too. Actually no its not.
As for cards to take out, I removed harmonize from mine because my general is already giving me card advantage. I didn't use any swords or jitte either. If teeg is going in then consider removing some of the cards that he screws over, or change them (such as removing creeping crossion and maybe adding oblivion ring).
Wow, thanks for the help, Rockondon! I really like the Living Plane idea, I will look into that. And no, I don't have $150 to spend on a card Anyways, I guess Teeg will stay out and Harmonize will go...you have a great point. I might consider taking out Sword of Fire and Ice because it is quite underwhelming, and I will hopefully find an Avacyn somewhere. I will keep Sword of Feast and Famine in because I have all the mana in the world to do whatever I want. Main phase 1 Tooth and Nail for Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Kamahl, Fist of Krosa, main phase 2 destroy all lands! Seems a little good Thanks again for the help!

If you really want to be mean with sisay you could always go for Hokori, Dust Drinker.
He's a lot meaner that Vorniclex and really all you should need is one untapped land a turn anyway: Gaea's Cradle.
I would suggest finding room for him if you want the deck to be really cutthroat.

No, what I mean to say is that you need to get her out turn 3 or you are really behind in the game. You at least need to tutor for Gaea's Cradle, and if she comes out turn 4, someone ALWAYS has removal for her. Then, it is really hard to get her out again. But no, my meta doesn't kill on turn 3

What to tutor in what order:
Always, ALWAYS get Gaea's Cradle first!
1) Gaea's Cradle
2) Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
3) Hokori, Dust Drinker
4) Mangara of Corondor on standby for any immediate threats
5) anything you want!

1. Run blue.
3. Play lots and lots of control.
2. Play pressure decks.
A pressure deck's job is to put everyone on low life totals very early then play cards like Earthquake to finish them off.
A good general for this is Ashling the Pilgrim.
If you are interested, I can help you build one.
