Deck overview

This deck is a five-color landfall value engine helmed by Sisay, Weatherlight Captain, built to abuse the interaction between repeatable landfall triggers and legendary permanents. The primary game plan is to accelerate lands into play, cast Sisay, and activate her ability to tutor legendary permanents directly onto the battlefield - most notably Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines and Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait - thereby doubling every landfall trigger and drawing cards. The deck eventually wins through overwhelming token armies (Avenger of Zendikar, Scute Swarm, Rampaging Baloths) or a single massive creature (Mossborn Hydra, Tifa Lockhart) that snowballs out of control. The strategy relies on Sisay's activation to chain the most powerful legends, but the mana base cannot consistently produce the black and red mana required for that ability, making the tutor engine unreliable in practice.
