Captain Sisay deck questions

What colours can I use in a Captain Sisay deck?

Captain Sisay has a Selesnya colour identity, so every card in the deck must be white and green or colourless. That includes mana symbols in rules text, not just casting cost.

What are the best cards for Captain Sisay?

The cards played most often in Captain Sisay decks include Radagast of Rhosgobel, The Queen of Dale, Gleaming Splendor. The full list of staples above is grouped by the job each card does, so you can see the deck's skeleton rather than just a pile of names.

How much does a Captain Sisay deck cost?

The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $105 at current market prices. A complete 100-card build costs more, and Grimoire can generate a budget version instead if you set a price ceiling.

Can I build a Captain Sisay deck from cards I already own?

Yes. Import your collection into Grimoire and choose "my cards" when you build. The generator will only use cards you actually own, and the Missing Cards page shows what you would need to buy to finish any list.
