Commander deckBGRUW
Sisay, Weatherlight Captain
A legendary-focused toolbox deck that leverages Sisay's ability to fetch legendary permanents to adapt to the board and finish with legendary synergies.
Asked for“A $300 Sisay, Weatherlight Captain commander deck, built at Bracket 3 (Upgraded) power level — focused mid-power, no WotC-designated game-changers (no Rhystic Study, Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt, Smothering Tithe, Ancient Tomb, Mana Vault, Thassa's Oracle), tight curve and clear strategy, 1-2 tutors at most, light combo package if thematic, games end around turn 9-11.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
