Hi Mark! It's my birthday today! Can I please have some trivia about Captain Sisay? Thank you!

Captain Sisay was the one Weatherlight crew member that Michael and I didn’t create. She and the Weatherlight were created as part of the Mirage story.Happy Birthday!

DTW Idea: Fixed card designs. Someone had asked about Brainstorm vs Ancestral Recall. Another about Sol Ring to Sisay’s Ring. It might be an interesting topic! As always, love the podcast!

I’ll add it to the “short” list.

Does Meet & Greet "Sisay" count as having Sisay in the art for Vorthos, even though it's clearly a paid actor?
On a related note, does Jilt count as having Yawgmoth or Hannah in the art? Because, as per the flavor text, that's *not* Gerrard's Hannah.

Having a character either dressed up as that character or a shapeshifter shifting into that character’s form passes the bar for visually referencing the character. The main idea of Vorthos is to let Vorthoses have fun making a deck flavored around a character.

Making sure I understand Meet and Greet "Sisay" and the rules, does an Adventure spell have the flavor text of its creature part? Flavor text isn't one of an object's characteristics (which there are rules covering for Adventures), so I don't think this is covered in the Comprehensive Rules, but I may be wrong.

The adventure only has the qualities of the adventure spell, so unless it has flavor text itself (which I think non adventure has due to space) it doesn’t trigger “Sisay”.

Mark,Its my birthday and I would like to invoke the rite of birthday trivia! Could I have some trivia on the Weatherlight?

The Weatherlight was one of the few aspects of the Weatherlight Saga not created by Michael and myself. It and Sisay were a small part of the Mirage story. We wanted a device that our characters could travel between worlds on and a flying ship sounded cool, so we adapted our story around it. Happy Birthday!

Really big fan of the Sisay art on the left-handed secret lair. High-five to whoever came up with that concept!

I believe that was Ari Zirulnik (who I had on my podcast a few weeks ago).

With the most popular format being singleton (Commander) and my love for legendary lands, words cannot express my disappointment that I can’t tutor for The World Tree with Captain Sisay. Instead of removing legendary from lands, would you please consider “the legend rule doesn’t apply to this card” added as rules text? Being legendary is important for those vorthos players who have a special love/connection to unique things.

Longtime readers know I’ve wanted to strip mechanical definition of legendary for years. That would allow us to let flavor dictate when legendary gets used.

Commander has color restrictions, and you know that restrictions breed creativity. Can I request that you swing the pendulum away from the Morophon, Golos, Kenrith, Jodah, Najeela, Sisay, and Tazri -styled 5 color commanders? It was nice to have some of these but I think we are getting too many and it is making Commander too '5 color Good Stuff'.

Okay, Commander players, I’m curious to hear your thoughts on five color identity commanders. More, less, changed in some way? What would you like?

So will we one day see a 2.0 version of Orim, Samite Healer like we did with Sisay, Weatherlight Captain or Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero?

Hopefully, one day.

"FYI / curiosity: Dominaria had the most recent legendary creatures with an off-color identity that wasn't fully 5c, in Shalai and Kazarov. Jodah was off-color 5c in the same set. Since then, there have been 4 other off-color 5c identities: Najeela, Sisay, Morophon, and Kenrith." CORRECTION! I somehow missed Golos, so there's 5 since Dominaria.
