When colour matters, this is good, if a bit overcosted. The draw-a-card business is the real reason this card is rated so highly.

Since Sisay's Ingenuity grants the ability to the creature, Training Grounds reduces the activation cost to U.

I suppose you could use it to save your creature from a Doom Blade, but a combo with Words of Wind is good too.

How about slapping it on a Pentarch Paladin, or a creature you control and combo it with him. Pentarch Paladin already whoops when I use him this would be awesome for Multiplayer games when you're playing different people with all different colors.

Why is this an aura? The only benefit I see to it being an aura is that you can bypass protection from blue that way.

Huh, it's funny that Captain Sisay is white/green... and that her ingenuity is blue.

Interesting little card that sort of grants your creature a power. An overcosted one in most circumstances, but still OK.
Say that you have a tapped creature with protection from white. An opponent targets that creature with Royal Assassin's ability.
Can this be used in response to save the creature by changing Royal Assassin's color to white?

@James Good question. the answer is yes. In the right deck, this card is the s**t. I had a cousin who got me into magic and ran an all color deck with familiars and everything about 7 years ago. In a deck with lots of creatures with protection from different colors, things like "when this creature comes into play, return a (insert color here) creature to your hand," and other, this card is pretty nice. A lot of people have forgotten that in the olden days a ton more cards were color specific, and this card was just one of the engines that made those color specific cards work with all colors.

With the introduction of Intimidate as a keyword, this is slightly less bad.
