Adaptive SisayEver since
Paradox Engine got banned, I've been wanting to make a good adaptive stax deck. With the release of
Jegantha, the Wellspring, I think I finally have a shot.
The goal of this deck is to play stax pieces from the deck at instant-speed using
Sisay, Weatherlight Captain. I can play
Ashiok, Dream Render in response to a tutor. Narset, Partner of Veils in response to a
windfall.
Once there is enough stax on the board, I can go for a combo.
CombosTainted/Consultation linesThese ones are relatively easy to pull off. Using either
Tainted Pact or
Demonic Consultation, I can
exile my entire library, then win with
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries or
Thassa's Oracle.
Najeela comboOn the end step before my turn, I search up
Jegantha, the Wellspring. On my turn, I activate Sisay using Jegantha's mana. Search and play
Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, and untap Jegantha. Activate Sisay again, this time playing
Samut, Voice of Dissent. Pay 1 white and untap Jegantha. Activate Sisay and get
Najeela, the Blade-Blossom. Go to combat and attack with Derevi and optionally Najeela and Sisay. Use one of the untaps on Jegantha. Before combat ends, use Jegantha to pay for Najeela and get an extra combat step. Repeat to win.
What I'm having trouble with is figuring out what to swap out for a proper protection and tutor package, and also if I'm missing any good legendary stax pieces.
Any suggestions?
