cEDH Tournament Report: Sisay, Weatherlight Captain wins CA 99 Q3 2K!!!

Clovis, California, played host to CA 99 Q3 2K!!! on November 7, 2026, and 57 cEDH players showed up ready to fight for the top spot. When the dust settled, Nikolai of Salt Miners came out on top with Sisay, Weatherlight Captain, finishing the event with a 4-1-1 record. It's a solid result for a field that size, and it gives Sisay fans plenty to cheer about.

Sisay was the story of the top 4, with the Weatherlight captain showing up at the helm of two of the four decks. The rest of the table was a mix of styles: the partner pairing of Thrasios, Triton Hero and Tymna the Weaver, plus Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy rounding out the final four. We don't have the winning deck's detected win conditions for this report, so we'll leave that mystery alone. Stick around as we look at the results and what they say about the field.

🃏 The winning deck

Sisay, Weatherlight Captain · 99 cards · full decklist

How it plays & wins

This list is a fast, interaction-heavy legendary deck built around mana acceleration and cheap disruption. Sol Ring, Mana Vault, the Moxes, and a dense set of mana dorks like Birds of Paradise and Noble Hierarch get the deck to its big plays early. Force of Will, Mindbreak Trap, Pact of Negation, Flusterstorm, and Silence protect those plays, while Swords to Plowshares, Abrupt Decay, Orcish Bowmasters, and Redirect Lightning clear blockers and answers. Tutors like Vampiric Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, and Green Sun's Zenith help find the right pieces.

The win condition is not clear from the list. No known combo was detected, and the decklist does not show a single obvious finisher or infinite loop. Finale of Devastation can tutor a creature, and Mystic Remora helps generate card advantage, but the deck most likely wins by grinding out value and controlling the game with its counterspells and removal before a legendary threat or a combat push closes it out. Without seeing the pilot's preferred lines, the exact path to victory remains speculative.
