Captain Sisay card art
Captain Sisay is a tutor engine stapled to your command zone — tap her to find any legendary permanent, then untap her and do it again the turn she comes down if you've built around haste or untap effects. The ceiling is absurd: chain into Kethis, the Hidden Hand, grab Mindslaver, lock someone out of the game, all from the board.

Kethis, the Hidden Hand

Kethis, the Hidden Hand

41.4% of decks · synergy 0.41

Kethis, the Hidden Hand turns every legendary in the graveyard into free mana, and Captain Sisay is the spine that assembles the chain — tap for a legend, Kethis lets you cast it cheaper, repeat until the engine is running.

02

Peter Parker

26.9% of decks · synergy 0.25

Peter Parker's triggered abilities reward piling in legendary permanents, and Captain Sisay does exactly that, fetching the right legend for the right moment on demand.

03
Reyhan, Last of the AbzanYoshimaru, Ever Faithful

Reyhan, Last of the Abzan // Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful

22.7% of decks · synergy 0.22

Yoshimaru grows whenever a legendary permanent enters, so every Captain Sisay activation is also a pump trigger — the two create a self-reinforcing loop of tutoring and board pressure.

04
Jodah, the Unifier

Jodah, the Unifier

23.5% of decks · synergy 0.21

Jodah, the Unifier cascades off every legendary spell cast, and Captain Sisay turns that into a repeatable cascade engine — each activation finds a legend, Jodah copies the trigger, and the board snowballs fast.

Commander is where Captain Sisay is built to live — a repeatable legendary tutor in the command zone is uniquely powerful in a format where the best permanents are disproportionately legendary. In Legacy and Vintage, she's legal but barely played; the four-mana tap ability is too slow against decks that win on turns one through three, and there's no shortage of faster tutors in those formats. Oathbreaker gives her a second home, though the 60-card singleton constraint tightens the legendary density she needs to consistently hit gas. Anywhere Captain Sisay is legal and the game goes long enough for her to untap, she's a threat that demands an answer.
