Also, Flagstones allows to to run 4 Ghost Quarters with confidence. I can't count how many times I Ghost Quartered my Flagstones to play Spectral Procession on turn 3. Also, it makes splashing slightly easier and can consistently get your Mistveil Plains (which is used mostly to infinitely recur Squadron Hawk).
Using Mistveil to not deck out and recur Squadron Hawks has been my favorite use for it, but I think you eschew it unless you have Hawks. In a pinch, it can let you have functionally 5-6 Paths in the deck. Flagstones is a strong card for most builds.
I've always disliked Suppression Field with Martyr and the utility lands, paying 2 for Ghost Quarter is a bit annoying when I need it, but I like your sideboard a lot, otherwise. Maindecking Aven Mindcensor presents an interesting approach to the meta while freeing up sideboard slots, as well.

I've always loved Aven mindcensor, it's good against pretty much any deck that uses fetches, not to mention melira or other decks that constantly try to search.
On the other hand, I really don't like Squadron Hawk, but I must admit that I've won a bunch of games by putting all of them in the BF having a Honor of the Pure, so I'll be keeping them in main because they well deserve that
I'm just thinking of removing two Soul's attendant or Soul Warden to put two Auriok Champion. They are slower, but considering the current meta with lots of black removal/creatures, I think it would be worth.
I'd love to find some room for Auriok Champs in my list, so I feel that. Have you enjoyed 4 Martyrs? I love the card, but I've never been happy with it at that high of numbers. You might look there to shave for some space, as well.

Probably cutting one Martyr and one Soul Warden/Attendant is better than cutting two Soul W/A. Will try how it works!
Hey guys, seems like one of my games got recorded at a LGS I went to.
It's quite embarrassing since I made a lot of misplays and missed triggers (was a lot more careless because I had already won 2 games prior and this match was for fun since we were splitting), but it was a lot of fun and I hope you guys can learn from my missed triggers.
A couple of notes:
-I was very, very lucky. Not only did I have incredible topdecks, I later learnt I had actually entered a tron-heavy meta, on a day that all the tron players decided to switch decks.
-This is the first time in several months that I had piloted Soul sisters. I hope you guys will forgive me for the misplays/missed triggers. On that note, this is evidence that even in inexperienced hands, Soul Sisters can be a pretty frightening deck.
-I totally do not approve of the casters pissing on my playmat choice. Maki is clearly the best girl in Love Live and I will defend this fact.
-I won an MM17 pack for my troubles, which I proceeded to pull a Scalding Tarn from. Nice!

Enjoyed watching the game though seems rude to mention your playmat badly honestly it kinda annoyed me. Other then triggers being missed you played really great and got some really amazing top decks. I feel gr tron is not a hard deck to beat for soul sisters (possibly just since i have a 16-3 record against it currently). I sideboard all the winbrisk heights out and go as agressive as possible with GQ on a specific tron land if possible. I attempt to play more aggro while leaving GQ open only for tron lands. Turn 2 stony silence delays them usually just long enough depending on there opening hand just long enough to pull a win out.
My favorite part was your opponent attempted to push the auriok champion only to realize it was pro black.

Last night I pitched a perfect game at my LGS not a single game dropped! The gods of RNG were truly on my side. Don't have time for a write-up right now, but I played against Eldrazi Tron, Grixis Delver, GU Tron (wuh?) and Grixis Control/Shadow. I'd consider all these to be fairly even to somewhat unfavorable matchups, so I was certainly lucky not to get Ballista'd or Staticaster'd or Chaliced (although I did get Ratchet Bombed and K-Returned). Moment of the night: My round 3 opponent (on a bizarre GU Karnless Tron list) sees me open on T1 Soul Warden and goes "You're 2-0?!" with a look of straight up shock. And then I wiped the floor with him my success (and store credit) has made me decide to attend the GPT for Las Vegas that's happening today! Wish me luck! Any other Sisters players planning on going to GP Vegas?
Grixis Delver/Control/Shadow are favorable matchups. Control might be a little bit harder. I play Delver and Soul Sisters is great against it. Grixis has no way to deal with Honor of the Pure besides Engineered Explosives. It obviously has a difficult time dealing with flyers.
Haha, people always think that Soul Sisters is a janky deck.
Note: I got rid of all my Soul Sisters pieces yesterday. Traded all my deck for modern staples. I also screwed up because I sold all my Rangers of Eos from Alara at the price of the new MM17 Ranger... could've gotten a little bit more from the trade.
I will be going to GP Vegas and bring Sisters. The lack of combo in the meta and relative lack of control says Sisters is the better deck to bring over my Martyr list. Excited to hear what you saw at your GP Trial and will be doing some number crunching on this week's GP to get an idea of meta before I finalize a list and sideboard (though my 60 is pretty solid right now.)
Thanks for the video, Tidal! The commentator's comments on your platmat were a little cheeky but they annoyed me more for their lack of knowledge about the deck. For as long as this deck has been in the format, it never ceases to amaze me how many people have to read Martyr or assume it's a Sister effect. Just a personal pet peeve, I guess. Can't wait to watch the rest, though.
I lost to two Grixis Control decks (half the people there were on Grixis variants) and Merfolk, piloted by GPLA winner Simon ****sky. Ghostly Prison is going back in the board...
The meta I saw was Grixis, some Tron variants, several Affinity, a Valakut deck or two, and some combo. No idea how much to read into that for GP Vegas though.
I feel gr tron is not a hard deck to beat for soul sisters (possibly just since i have a 16-3 record against it currently).
Just how? I never win against tron.
4 mainboard GQ. You will most likely lose game 1 unless lucky, but i SB out anything i would consider slow. Tap land, anything over 3cmc with highest first. I bring 3 stony silence in from the SB and generally play aggro. If i dont have at least a GQ and stony silence in my opening hand i would rather ship it back but multiple GQ with a regular plains has served me well from attacking the same tron piece just note you need luck. Im gonna try suppression fields soon to help with a few decks in my local meta and it should help the tron matchup for planeswalkers where i feel i wanna disable the turn 3 Karn for a turn. Not that i suggest it, but i will occasionally if able to bring stuff in to replace basic plains so i can get gas instead of land. Wouldnt reccomend it in a competitive place, but we muligan well.
Our local judge is our GR tron player and he can't seem to understand why he loses a favorable match. To the point he went to play another deck due to getting frustrated. I think i play a normal SB when it comes to playing and use the same tactics most people would. Think i just get lucky with draws against most ppl.

I've always run 4GQ and have never really struggled with it on mana. I mulligan a few more hands than you might (especially now since I run 6 taplands (since Isolated Chapel is occasionally a tapland), but we really do mulligan damn well. I've won more games than I can count on mull to two lands, Sister, Pridemate, Tokens.

Aha, I see. Only downside is Blood moon, but is less used now.

Yeah, I know that Suppression field can get annoying with Ghost Quarter, Martyr of Sands, Windbrisk Heights... But my meta is full of planeswalkers, melira company, and some others that it pays off to have that in the SB.
I've always loved Aven mindcensor, it's good against pretty much any deck that uses fetches, not to mention melira or other decks that constantly try to search.
