Welcome to Captain Sisay's Land of Legends! I have seen quite a few people go different directions with Sisay but I think I’ve put together one of the best lists so far. I’ve still got a few tweaks to make but so far it’s been effective in both 1v1 and Multiplayer games. It won all 5 of its first 5 games (at this time it has not lost) against various deck types. The versatility that Sisay allows is just ridiculous! What’s really funny is that I didn’t originally plan on this deck being an aggressive creature deck but it’s got more creatures than any other deck I run (and I play Azusa! lol). Anyways…enough yapping and on to the deck.
The one thing I'm missing at the moment is a lot of protection for my general. I may end up cutting a couple of creatures and add in some more protection. Any thoughts on the best protectors for her other than greaves, which I'm already running...
You could consider Whispersilk Cloak. For fun shenanigans, there is That Which Was Taken, which is tutorable as well, albeit probably not nearly as good. Whispersilk is good at any rate to ensure your attacks go through to boot.
Oh and if you're really hurting for protection, keep 8.5-tails in. If he comes out later in the game, he can protect anything you want to spot removal with ease. He's really undervalued IMO.

Good point about the Tails. I thought about putting in a Whispersilk Cloak but I'm preying not to stuff to many artifacts into the deck because of Kataki, War's Wage and I already have 7. I should have specified, sorry. Any other ideas?
Ah yes, I failed to spot Kataki. You could run Devoted Caretaker if you fear spot removal, Glory is fun in your graveyard, Earnest Fellowship combined with Eight-And-A-Half-Tails works like a charm, Flickering Charm can work as well, most of those are especially good combined with the Kitsune. When it comes to Mass Removal protection, you could look into some Flicker cards, though I'm blanking on names right now that'd help you during opponent's turns aside from Flickerform.

I think this deck really wants green sun's zenith, devoted caretaker, mother of runes, sylvan safekeeper and maybe some more mana acceleration (birds of paradise, bloom tender?).
have you thought about running the Kormus/Urborg/Linvala combo? you're already running Linvala two pieces are tutorable with your general and it makes for a nasty wincon.... Not that I actually want to see you use it lol. Ghostway could be an interesting way to avoid a wrath effect. Flickering Ward could be a way to protect your general albeit kind of limited.

Eh, I've never been a fan of the Kormus/Urborg/Linvala combo as it makes it so I also cannot cast spells. And I likes my spell casting!

Actually it only stops your opponents from casting spells as the the thing that stops everything is Linvala and her ability only stops your opponents creatures from activating abilities. But it is a lockdown win combo albeit a three piece one even though two pieces are easily obtained.
Why not play the 2cc ramp spells (nature's lore, rampant growth) instead of the 3cc ones (Cultivate, Kodama's Reach). Just to maximize your turn 3 Captain Sisay.
Through in Crovax, Ascendant Hero, because he combos with Kamahl and is searchable. With both out you tap a green to destroy a land. It's too much fun.

Pretty solid Sisay list. I run a few other combos like Living Plane, Staff of Domination and some more tutor abilities in case Sisay gets shuffled into the deck. The grim reality is that you're going to lose straight up with this deck against super fast combo decks and hard counterspell decks with bounce effects. My favorite thing to do in my Sisay deck is to Tooth and Nail for Avacyn and Archetype of Endurance - it allows for only 5-10 spells in all of magic able to **** with your board state at that point.
Dude, if you can afford it, get Mangara of Corondor and Karakas. A) Karakas protects all the creatures. B) most underrated 2-card combo in EDH. C) you have a way to tutor both pieces.

Generation 15: The first time you see this, add it to your sig, but add 1 to the number. Call it a social experiment.

I´m afraid Karakas is banned in both variants (multiplayer and duel)

I think I'm going to go with Champion's Helm for protection in spite of Kataki, War's Wage. The flavor is too good to pass up
