And after I left the standard environment, I was excited to see what commander had to offer for them! Sidisi, Brood Tyrant is my commander, and she does an amazing job of that 👌

 {Sidisi, Brood Tyrant} has filled a hole for this EDH deck that I've had a problem with for long time: finding a "Sultai" colored commander that worked well with zombies. I've tried Mimeoplasm, but I never liked the fact of exiling the cards. I've tried Damia, but everytime I played with her, there was a Nekuzar on the table which made her "draw" ability irrelevant. Sidisi fits the roll of a tribal zombie/Reanimation deck perfectly. She's a low costing creature, that can pump out another one immediately (assuming you hit a creature off the top 3 cards.) her ability continually fuels the graveyard while supplying more zombies to either sacrifice, attack with, block with, or just to stand there and put fruit bowls on their head for their almighty leader.

There are a lot of interesting interactions with this commander, and I'll try to explain all my favorite ones that have come up while playing with her:

Sidisi's ability while attacking + wonder = Surprise! You aren't going to block!

Sidisi's ability while attacking + brawn = Have fun blocking now with your 1/1s.

Casting Sidisi on T5 + hitting gravecrawler = all the value.

Sidisi + bury alive + getting gravecrawler = even more value.

This deck has different ways of attacking/winning the game which I enjoy a lot. Some games I win by comboing off (which I'll explain in a bit), some I win by draining people with Gary, some I win simply by beating them in the head with zombies over and over until their brains become my dinner.

I'll explain some of the combos now for the Giggles:

Gravecrawler + rooftop storm + altar of dementia + any zombie on the table = everyone mill your libraries!

Gravecrawler + rooftop storm + phyrexian altar + any zombie on the table = "infinite" mana of any color!
(P.S. Making that much mana then casting villainous wealth on someone's library feels reeeeeeeeaaaaaally good)

Gravecrawler (you starting to see a pattern here?) + rooftop storm + any sac. outlet + diregraf captain = drain everyone's life away!

Gravecrawler + diregraf captain + phyrexian altar = same as above.

Gravecrawler + phyrexian altar / rooftop storm & sac. outlet + noxious ghoul = all non zombies are dead.

There's a lot more interesting scenarios that have come up, but those are my favorite ones. This deck has a lot of synergy and a lot of zombies, so anyone who loves both of those things can gladly join the Sultai clan. ☺️

Can someone higher up add this to the community deck lists please?

It's funny how all of your interactions that you enjoy have to do with Gravecrawler. Also, I've heard {Vengeful Pharoh} is good with Sidisi

Yeah he's deffinetly a key-piece to most of the combos! And that's deffinetly an interesting card I might have to add that thanks! Didn't really read his ability fully

{kheru lich lord}

That card seems good but I feel it is bad in any format.  A random upkeep mana sink is just bad IMO.

[Yawgmoth85]

What about a dredge aspect?

[JordanCirk]

{kheru lich lord}

Yeah sadly I tried him for a while but his ability wasn't always that "spectacular"

[JordanCirk]

What about a dredge aspect?

I tried grave troll and the zombie one (can't remember it's name) but surprisingly I go through a lot of my deck to begin with, and I kept getting to a point where I would almost mill myself out, so I stopped with the dredging but I could deffinetly consider putting it back in.

With a {laboratory maniac} it could be helpful. In tryin to get a sidisi myself but havin no luck finding one. {ghoulcaller gisa} or/ {stitcher Geralf} could fit. Kinda cool havin these two siblings working together. And with a {life of the loam} would help recycle ur land

{Life from the Loam} + {Syphon Life} = Win. I have a modern deck that runs it. It'd be much better in EDH and I plan on running it when I finally get my hands on a LFTL.

Is it an auto win..? Or do you have to keep doing it, I guess I'm a bit confused

{ghoulcaller gisa}?

[Gadnuk, Breaker of Worlds]

{Gaea's Blessing} and {Kozelik, butcher of truth} to protect yourself from milling out and  {Basalt Monolith} / {Mesmeric Orb} for infinite zombies.
