How it plays & wins

Sisay, Weatherlight Captain leads a fast, five-color shell that plays closer to a storm-style combo deck than a typical commander deck. The game plan is to deploy cheap mana like Moxen, Lotus Petal, Dark Ritual, and the mana dorks, then dig with tutors such as Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Mystical Tutor, and Necropotence. Backup comes from a thick suite of free or cheap interaction, including Force of Will, Fierce Guardianship, Pact of Negation, Flusterstorm, and Silence, plus Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora for value when the game stalls.

The most direct win is the Thassa's Oracle package: empty the library with Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact, then cast Oracle to win. The second route is Underworld Breach with Brain Freeze or Lion's Eye Diamond, which lets the deck chain spells from the graveyard into a lethal storm count. Ad Nauseam can also assemble these pieces by drawing deeply, though I can't say for certain how often it is the intended line.
