Trying out an experimental build with Captain Sisay at the helm to fetch Avacyn, Angel of Hope and other legendaries. Most creatures are already indestructible by themselves, but Avacyn covers the few who aren't, as well as all my other permanents. Packing lots of ramp, powerful G/W enchantments, as well as board wipes. Also a huge fan of Torpor Orb in this deck, it'll really throw off the decks I play against.
Currently at 106 cards, would greatly appreciate some assistance with making the final few cuts. Also open to any suggestions for new cards! Thanks very much as always.
For your last couple cuts, I would take out Konda, Lord of Eiganjo and Darksteel Forge. Konda costs a ton of mana and only hits for 3, not enough bang for your buck. You don't really have enough artifacts for the Forge to be valuable either.
Then I would take a look at your curve. You have a lot of stuff that costs 6, 7 mana or more. Even with all your ramp, you may find that your hand will be stuffed with fat creatures you can't cast for a while.
Finally, it looks like you only have 1 legendary land. I would bump this up to 3 or 4, including Flagstones of Trokair, Gaea's Cradle, maybe even Eiganjo Castle. That way you can use Sisay to help you out with mana issues if necessary.

Then I would take a look at your curve. You have a lot of stuff that costs 6, 7 mana or more. Even with all your ramp, you may find that your hand will be stuffed with fat creatures you can't cast for a while.
Finally, it looks like you only have 1 legendary land. I would bump this up to 3 or 4, including Flagstones of Trokair, Gaea's Cradle, maybe even Eiganjo Castle. That way you can use Sisay to help you out with mana issues if necessary.
