Deck discussion for Sidisi's Determination

Some key cards that I think would be very useful to you in this deck.
Buried Alive
Intuition
Entomb
Jarad's Order
Fact or Fiction
Grisly salvage/Mulch/Tracker's Instincts type of cards

These all trigger her zombie ability.

Doubling Season/Parallel Lives
If you have sac effects enough you can always use Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos
Noxious Revival/Reclaim to hit a creature for sure
Genesis
Visions of Beyond
Treasure Cruise
Other Delve type cards

Don't forget Nyx Weaver, it constantly feeds the grave AND can get something out again if needed.

Splinterfright can also be used for the upkeep mill.

Tasigur, the Golden Fang - Geth, Lord of the Vault - Erebos,God of the Dead - Marang River Prowler - Bloodghast - Courser/oracle (to see if you want to mill your top card) - Altar of Dementia - Deathrite Shaman - Oversold Cemetery - Sword of Light and Shadow - Vengevine - Bow of Nylea- Massacre Worm - Bojoka Bog are some to start with that I think would be notable adds. I'd try to cut some cards that arent creatures and up your creature count to at least 30 to make triggers worth while. Great start thought!

Cards I don't like here are - Dimir Keyrune (Rather have a Signet) - Kheru Lich Lord - Shambling Shell (I'd rather have Golgari Thug) - Countermand - Kruphix - Varaska - Preator's Councel -

memory adept is ok ish ... its only 1 trigger even if you mill yourself for 5 creatures out of his ability. I personnaly don't like it.

Suggestions: Animate dead, The Mimeoplasm, See the Unwritten, body double, rise of the dark realms/liliana vess, grisly salvage, voralz, the scar-striped, spell twine, memory plunder, life's finale, living end, tombstone stairwell, forbid, elixir of immortality/eldrazi lord as reset button, traumatize-glimpse the unthinkable-mind funeral for self-mill combo with living death. Cards like undead gladiator, nether traitor, bloodghast, gravecrawler, reassembling skeleton, and blood-soaked champion become broken with skull clamp. Sylvan library, sensei's diving top, mirri's guile might be nice to set up your sidisi/nix weaver triggers. Run some land thinning cards like cultivate/kodama's reach/skyshroud claim/sylvan scrying to increase sidisi's consistency. Maybe whispersilk cloak but at least rogue's passage if you plan on attacking with sidisi, maybe even thassa- really good for the same reason as sylvan library. The deck looks like it's off to a good start, nice job

Important Question: Are you trying to build a casual edh deck or one that's ready for tier 1 play?

The mimeoplasm is a beast! Would work well in this deck.

It's always good but here I'd imagine you want your creatures to stay out of exile wouldn't you?

Yeah, I've reached the point where building fun EDH decks is not an option. We (my playgroup) should be ashamed of ourselves.

Check out these decks as an example:

This is about as casual as it gets: http://www.mtgvault.com/keegang/decks/xmas-with-xenagod-edh/

I don't think you'd want to dig that deep for one zombie token.

I would agree. Stick around the 1-3 card mill.

I've wanted to play bug for a long time, but wanted to try something different from the Mimeoplasm so I went with Sidisi.
Although maybe not Tier 1, the deck can really push the limits. I've had great success with cards like Mulch, Victimize, Buried Alive, Mirror-Mad Phantsm, Vengeful Pharoh, Fact or Fiction and Hermit Druid. But one of the best cards I could ever suggest for Sidisi is Mesmeric Orb. Each untap of a permanent grants you a mill meaning each one of them would be a SEPERATE trigger for Sidisi netting you a ton of zombies. At the same time, your opponents are also milling there own pants off which gets some players quite frustrated ;-)

One thing I feel like you are really missing out on is shuffling your graveyard back into your library, or the "Recycle Effect". The biggest thing I've found with Sidisi, is if you really want to play to her strengths you have to focus less on filling the graveyard and working out of it (Mimeoplasm decks). You care more about that repeated action of milling creatures while Sidisi is present. Cards like Gaea's Blessing are so perfect for this role and although not very budget friendly, so are the Eldrazi titans Kozilek and Ulamog. The hardest thing about that is BUG lends itself so well to playing out of the graveyard so its tempting, in the end its all about striking the right balance between the two.

One last note if you are not opposed to making infinite zombies or have a cutthroat playgroup...

With Sidisi in play:
Mesmeric Orb + Basalt Monolith = Infinite Zombies ( Monolith taps to feed 3 back into untapping it repeatedly)
Mesmeric Orb + Aphetto Alchemist or Seeker of Skybreak = Infinte Zombies ( creature taps to untap itself repeatedly)
Cephalid Illusionist + Lightning Greaves = Infinite Zombies ( Keep equipping boots back and forth between illusionist and zombies)

As soon as one of your "Recycle" Effects hits the graveyard, you're free to continuously mill your library at will. As always, be ready for gravehate and pack a little of your own. Best of luck on your journey.

I love Sultai because it reminds me so much of the golgari my favorite guild. I would love to make a standard deck around sultai one day. I am trying to make an EDH group hug deck with Child of Alara. I was wondering if you guys could let me know if it would be fun to play against. I am not making it to win, I want it to kind of just make multiplayer games in my play group more fun. http://www.mtgvault.com/djnsports05/decks/5-color-group-hug/

Loves like fun. I tried to make a Mimeoplasm deck but it didn't work well. If you want to chuck stuff into the graveyard, traumatize is nuts. Throws half of target's remaining deck into graveyard. Can choose yourself or an opponent.
