Notes
 
2026-03-28:
Disbanded in an effort to cut down on EDH decks and make room for new ones (nothing to do with playability). If we want to play this again, we'll rebuild it anew.

This deck was able to get some fun stuff on the battlefield, I just don't think Gates worked as well here. Tutoring is also a little bit of cheating in EDH. If we rebuild this, focus on legendary creatures (not gates) and make those legendaries interesting - or the opposite, focus on Sisay and make them bland!

======================

Based on 5Magic: Fun Edition deck, which was helmed by Jodah. This one will be helmed by Sisay.

[SISAY, WEATHERLIGHT CAPTAIN] 3 mana to cast, gets +1/+1 for each color of mana in Legendary permanents I control. Pay {RAINBOW} to search for a legendary permanent with less than Sisay's power, put on battlefield.

The goal is to have Maze's End in the deck as *a* Wincon, though that's likely not going to win me most of my games. Sisay enables me to focus on finding any and all Legendary permanents. She gains +1/+1 for each color in other legendary permanents I control, so one Progenitus makes her 7/7, but any multicolored creature can already buff her immensely.

Jodah used to be there for discount and for giving Sisay +3/+3, but I updated the deck to be faster.

================
#6:
Haven't played it recently, but won once and was a threat in another game. This update is some swapping around cards and hopefully a little buff with Aftermath now out
[OUT] 'Samut, Tyrant Smasher', 'Klothys, God of Destiny', Grand Warlord Radha, 'Radha, Heart of Keld'
[IN] 'Ajani, the Greathearted', Mox Amber, Open the Way, Gold-Forged Thopteryx

#5: 11-06-2022
Haven't played yet, but realized: more consistent Gate drop = better! So swapping out a triple-mana tap land.
OUT: Mystic Monastery
IN: Black Dragon Gate

#4: 10-06-2022
Baldur's Gate launched! MORE GATES!
OUT:
Gateway Plaza, Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse (new gates allow me to pick a color)
'Takenuma, Abandoned Mire' (Better for Umezawa)
All Suns' Dawn, 'Jadzi, Oracle of Arcavios'
IN:
Citadel Gate, Baldur's Gate, Heap Gate, Gond Gate
Explore the Underdark, Nine-Fingers Keene

#3: 20-05-2022
OUT: Eater of Virtue (don't have a lot of abilities, Legends more quickly amass power)
IN: Massacre Girl (boardwipe on fetch)

#2: 07-05-2022
Did some playtesting. I like Progenitus and Jodah, but I think they best work in another 5 color deck focused around Progenitus and anthems.
OUT: Progenitus, 'Jodah, Archmage Eternal'
IN: Sword of the Chosen, Eureka Moment

#1: 03-05-2022
Initial decklist, MU cards finally arrived after some delay.
Eureka Moment and Sword of the Chosen also available in sideboard.

[Some notes:]
> PLANESWALKER's are Legendary!
> Giving counters to Sisay, plus anthems, give her additional power.

Some good ideas to make this deck more playable:
