So I played with the deck a few times over the weekend and really didn't care for Jegantha as companion... and to be honest after the new companion ruling I never once brought them to my hand to play. I found that in each of my games my mana ramp and generation is good enough to not need access to them outside of the 99 so I moved them mainboard. This now frees me up to switch up a lot of stuff in the deck since I'm no longer bogged down by Jegantha's restrictions.

Over the course of multiple games I've discovered I really need more legendary cards that deal with destroying/exiling permanents. I was desperate to get some removal but realized most of my legends didn't really do that at all and Urza's Ruinous Blast I could not tutor with Sisay herself (later I did realize I could get with Captain Sisay..) So I made the following changes adding in a much larger planeswalker suite:

In:
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight (finisher)
Demonic Tutor (in order to get things situationally that my commander can't)
Ashiok, Dream Render
Nahiri, the Harbinger
Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God
Sarkhan the Masterless
Chromatic Orrery
Sword of Sinew and Steel
Heroic Intervention

Out:
Gilded Lotus (too slow)
Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner (never needed to use her and was a dead draw)
Jhoira's Familiar (not really relevant since I don't really play historic cards from hand)
Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain (may put her back in if I feel I need more draw, reki does work himself tho)
Kambal (never needed him)
Muldrotha (brought her out once and she didn't really do much, I have kenrith for reanimation which I like much better)
Noble Hierarch (have plenty of mana already)
Nylea, Keen-Eyed (served really no purpose)
Raff Capashen (he could come back but sisay can activate at instant speed anyways so didnt feel like i needed him)

One thing I liked about Jegantha as companion is how she alone makes Sisay a 4/4, which is enough to cheat out Derevi, untapping Jegantha, and start a chain of cheating out everything I want that turn.
If you don't have Jegantha as companion, I'd say the best card in the deck is bloom tender which I don't see here.

Made some updates:

Out:
Frontier Bivouac
Nurturing Peatland
Sarkhan the Masterless
Sword of Sinew and Steel
Birds of Paradise
Xenagos, God of Revels

In:
Reflecting Pool
Sunpetal Grove
Lithoform Engine
Shadowspear
Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate
Yasharn, Implacable Earth

I am considering moving Jegantha back to companion - doing so I would have to ditch Gisela, Nicol Bolas and Ashiok but I think I can find better replacements.

I like that interaction with Derevi and Jegantha but how do you keep chaining it? As for Bloom Tender I would love to get a copy but have not yet been able to.
