Deck discussion for Yisan EDH

Be forwarned that Yisan is painfully boring after about game four since if you're trying to win the tutor targets are painfully obvious, making the game play the same each time.

Seeborn Muse should be in here, it lets you grab something with Yisan each turn.

Soul of New Phyrexia basically ends the game when you drop it on turn 6, especially with a Muse out.

Sylvan Safekeeper is a great get at the 1 cost since he can keep your guys safe.

Primal Surge would be a great alt win con with Concordant Crossroads out. I've played Primal Surge, put 30+ permanents into play, one of which was a Eternal Witness to bring Surge back to play another 30, then swung to kill 6 people simultaneously.

Yours looks good, but no fauna shaman? that card has become the workhorse of my deck since it costs cheaper to activate, making it easier to use, untap(wirewood symbiote/scryb ranger/qurion ranger) and use again. Also archetype of endurance is very handy. and of course Omnath and Azusa haha

I tried Fauna Shaman but it never did anything. Casting it, waiting a turn, then using it's ability for a creature that I probably couldn't cast right away since I was using mana on a Yisan tutor never once worked out. Gyre Sage that within that same span usually could tap for 4-5 mana was almost always more useful, as was Taiju Preserver against staxx decks or Seeker of the Skybreak to untap Yisan, etc.

Archetype I also ran, but at the 8 drop slot Craterhoof just ended the game, and I never have had a chance to tutor another 8 drop twice in the same game, so he just got in the way.

I use Fauna Shaman to grab low cost guys that i dont grab with Yisan. ie: I usually grab wirewood symbiote with Yisan, but later ill grab Joraga or ulvenweld tracker with Fauna, or i could grab a low cost situational guy such as caustic caterpillar or spore frog. Sometimes I use Yisan to grab my mana ramp guys and then Fauna to grab darksteel collossus or some other big guy. I dont actually have the blightsteel, craterhoof, or cloudstone curio yet. How I use this deck is usually slow and controlling; i try to always have mana left in case i need to pull something out and stop my opponent. I also wait until the end of the opponents turn to use my activated abilities which ensures that whoever i pull out i get to use atleast once before my opponent can kill them.
I really need a creature card that allows you to search your deck for an artifact, but i havent found one
