Captain Sisay is an amazing general. She can fetch practically anything you need, from fatties (Akroma, Angel of Wrath, Avacyn, Angel of Hope), utility legends (Mangara of Corondor, Saffi Eriksdotter), equipment (the Kaldra series, Umezawa's Jitte), and even lands (Gaea's Cradle, Flagstones of Trokair).

Captain SISSY more like! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Just joking, if she were real, she'd kick my ass, as well as anyone else who plays MtG's ass.
Cmon, don't lie. We'd all be 0/1s with:
Name: MtG Player
Creature type: Nerd
Enters the battlefield tapped.
To untap, you must feed it 1/1 white goat tokens.
When MtG Player attacks, it doesn't untap at the next untap phase.
When MtG Player dies, all other Nerd creatures get a mourn counter
You get my point. This is a great card. With the expansive amount of Legendary Creatures out there, you can make this a great EDH general, and if not, simply a great EDH support creature

I like the art on this one. I know it's the same, but it's brighter. Digitally colored?

No Phyrexians, and no Ravnicans. Honestly, Captain Sisay would have looked amazing next to Tsabo Tavoc. Apparently its ok to print superheros without their supervillain counterparts though. Join the Campaign to Stop Unfair Descrimination Against Sc um and Villainy today! (CSUDASV)

A unique effect, perfect colors (flavor-wise), and a true legend. So many different angles to take in EDH.
But... Why use her once a turn?
After using her as a general for a while, I figure these not only help the Cap'n, but help the deck in general:
Beacon Hawk
Scryb Ranger
Copperhorn Scout
Nature's Chosen
Thousand-Year Elixir/Magewright's Stone
Seedborn Muse/Quest for Renewal
Legends that like to tap:
Mikaeus, the Lunarch
Glissa Sunseeker
Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile
Tolsimir Wolfblood

Most people include her in GWx commander decks because, well, she's a reusable tutor that can get lots of powerful stuff, so why wouldn't you.
But, the thing is, she's an awesome commander herself. Having her as the actual commander guarantees you'll always be able to access her. She's in the ramp color of green, so turn 3 is reliable, and thanks to cards like Sol Ring, Mana Vault and Mana Crypt she can even come out on turn 2. As for her ability herself in a commander deck built around it... wow. She can search for silver bullets. She can search for bombs. She can search for game enders. She basically gets what you need to get into the dominant position.
My default gameplan when I'm using her deck is to first get out ramp to be able to reach 9 mana (can often get it simply with either Rofellos or Gaea's Cradle, but sometimes you'll need both), and then plop down an Iona. It's pretty hard for most decks to have cards of multiple colors that can deal with her. And even if they do, if ... (see all)

Ridiculously good. Fought an EDH duel deck with her that used Survival of the Fittest and Loyal Retainers to basically reanimate any legendary creature in his deck. He used it to get out an early Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Also, her sidekick, Gaddock Teeg, is really really annoying.
