So, my friend Ramon and I are developing this Captain Sisay deck. We want it to be as competitive al posible. We think it's a good deck, that will be stronger whith the rule changes that have been anounced, yet we are new to the format, so any sugestions are welcome.
Your approach to Captain Sisay is very different from mine. My build has evolved from Surging Chaos' build and focuses on having answers to every situation and winning through combo rather than beatdown. Of course, with the large creatures that are in the deck, beatdown is a viable backup plan.
Just off the top of my head, I don't think you have enough ways to give Sisay haste, and don't have enough ways to protect her. I also feel that you are not running enough ways to stop others from comboing off.
If you want to read Surging Chaos' primer for Sisay, it is in the Sisay link in my signature.
One of the biggest departures from SC's list (aside from the fact that he stopped updating more than a year ago) is the addition on an Umbral Mantle and Stoneforge Mystic to go infinite with Rofellos.
The plan goes something like this:
1) Get Sisay out and tutor up Rofellos
2) Use one of the many creature tutors to find Stoneforge Mystic who fetches Umbral Mantle.
3) Get Umbral Mantle on Rofellos while having at least 4 Forests in play.
4) Make Infinite Green mana with Rofellos
5) Use some mana to move the Umbral mantle to Sisay and tutor up every legend in the deck, one of which is Myojin of Life's Web.
6) Drop the Myojin and remove the divinity counter to put ALL of those legends into play
7) (optional) Use Kamahl, Fist of Krosa's ability to make all of your opponent's lands into 1/1 creatures, which die instantly to Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobyte's ability.
8) Pump all of your creatures with Kamahl's second ability to infinite/infinite with trample and swing.

What gives them haste? or you wait a turn after killing the lands then attack?
Nothing gives the new guys haste. Sorry I wasn't clear. No, you have to attack with creatures that were already on the board. Since that usually includes Sisay, Rofellos, and Stoneforge Mystic, you have one creature for each player at a 4 player table. If there are more than 4 players, the others usually scoop to having all of their lands die.
The nice thing about the deck is that it can absolutely win without comboing.

Thanks! You gave me some things to think about. Im new to the format, so some of this combos are new for me. Anyway, I'm not a fan of combos. So I'll try out one at a time.
