I think this pair is an excellent combination for a Bant control deck. Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker offers a win condition and doesn't action to pump it. While Thrasios, Triton Hero is an early ramp and provide late game mana sink. Currently the deck is very much creature based control. If you have any suggestions, please post them.
One concern I see in regards to Ishai is that her +1/+1 counters depend on opponent's spells. If she died, she needs to start all over as a 6cc 1/1. Your equipments allow any of your creature, Thrasios included, to be a wincon, which indirectly weakens Ishai's position further. If your goal is to have a Bant deck, then I can see the benefit of using Ishai (since Sidar Kondo requires a different kind of mindset), maybe include Mother of Runes and/or Steelshaper's Gift would help keeping Ishai alive.

Thanks for the suggestion. I decided to add in a Bastion Protector for some added protection. I like her because she protectors both commanders at once if they are on the battlefield together.

Holy crap, now you mentioned it, Bastion Protector indeed protect partner generals doubly well!

I can see it being more synergistic with a +1/+1 counters themes, but the deck currently doesn't support that theme right now.
Thank you for the input.
No sweat!
The reason I mention Reyhan is that access to G and B grants availability to Corpsejack Menace, Hardened Scales, Doubling Season, and Primal Vigor. Since Ishai is WU, you could then add Master Biomancer, Vorel of the Hull Clade, Gilder Bairn, Deepglow Skate, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, among others.

It would certainly make Ishai's death more tolerable. A popular combo with Greater Good is Yosei, the Morning Star.
