Braeden Thomas took first place at Mages Sanctum cEDH 6K in Austin, Texas, defeating a 65-player field while piloting a Sisay, Weatherlight Captain list on February 21, 2026. The single-line result in the original report records the win and the commander identity but provides no match scores or runner-up names.

The same original report ends with an incomplete administrative note: "Tournament registration and bracket details are posted on Top", the sentence is truncated and supplies no link, site name, or bracket image to review. That missing link leaves the event pairing data and Swiss-then-top-cut structure unverified from the supplied materials.

An additional file labeled [Topdeck Gg] contains a long, uncontextualized list of cards that appears to span multiple archetypes and even multiple commander names, so I cannot confirm it is Braeden Thomas's 99-card Sisay list. The [Topdeck Gg] list includes standalone commanders such as Dargo, the Shipwrecker and Tymna the Weaver alongside cards commonly seen in cEDH shells - Ad Nauseam, Lion's Eye Diamond, Mox Diamond, Demonic Tutor - and a heavy suite of fast mana, tutors, sacrifice outlets, and duals. Because the list contains duplicates, split-card formatting, and multiple commander names, its provenance relative to the Austin event is unclear in the provided notes.

Key event details remain unconfirmed in the materials provided: the full 99-card list for Braeden Thomas's Sisay deck, the identity of the runner-up and Top 8, prize payout breakdown despite the "6K" label in the event name, and the venue name within Austin. Verifying the truncated "posted on Top" line and obtaining the official bracket and decklist will determine whether Sisay's win represents a novel competitive shift or a single successful pilot at a one-day 65-player field.
