Because I'm actually unable to decide on Standard Decks I wish to play, I spent a good few weeks tossing up between whether to play Abzan Reanimator, or Sidisi Whip. Because I love aspects of both, including access to certain cards in each list, I decided to mesh the two together to create this - my baby. All comments and suggestions are very welcome, as I want to ensure this deck is the best it can possibly be.
Now for an Explanation of the Current Cards:
Graveyard Dumpers
Commune with the Gods - a 5 Card Dump which also allows me to dig for Whip of Erebos or any other creature I hit with it
Satyr Wayfinder - Allows me to hit land drops I may potentially otherwise miss (Keep in mind I am only running 23 Lands)
Sidisi, Brood Tyrant - An obvious choice and the reason this deck splashes Blue. Being able to self-mill on entry/attacks and churning out Zombies is pretty brilliant.
Removal
Hero's Downfall
- An obvious choice of Black Removal, hits both annoying creatures and enemy Planeswalkers
Murderous Cut - With the ability to delve and cast this, it makes cracked fetches and worthless dumped lands extremely valuable. Too much of an important staple not to run.
Creatures
Courser of Kruphix - Vital to ensure I hit my land drops, a solid body to block, and early life-gain. This guy's the full package!
Doomwake Giant
- Ability to wipe aggro/enemy whip threats when entering the battlefield. Also synergizes well with Pharika, God of Affliction
Hornet Queen - With the ability to generate 4 Deathtouching Hornets on entry, what's not to love?
Pharika, God of Affliction - A way to remove creatures from the yard that I don't necessarily need, and turn them into useful, deathtouchy blockers. Also triggers the ability of
Doomwake Giant
Satyr Wayfinder - As explained above, this guy helps me to find lands if I'm desperate, or I can churn him back out as a Snake Enchantment token with Pharika, God of Affliction
Sidisi, Brood Tyrant - With potentially constant dumps into the graveyard and zombie generation, this card is a vital piece of this deck.
Siege Rhino - Have you ever whipped one of these babies back from the grave? 7 Life off of one move is nothing to laugh about.
Sylvan Caryatid - Mana fixing and an early-game blocker. Nothing more, nothing less.
Sideboard
Anafenza, the Foremost - Valuable against enemy whip decks, as all creatures they dump go straight to exile. Satisfaction value/10.
Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver - As the name suggests, she is a total Nightmare Weaver. Losing creatures to this card's +2 is pretty horrifying.
Empty the Pits
- Still undecided about running this mainboard, but flooding the field with a tonne of Zombies is always fun, right?
Bile Blight - Cough Enemy Hornets Cough.
Drown in Sorrow - See above, also useful against aggressive decks.
Erase
- Single white enchantment hate? Yes please.
Reclamation Sage - Enchantment/Artifact hate + body for blocking. I've seen one of these save the player from a Perilous Vault when matched against UB Control.
Soul of Innistrad
- A great way to bring back vital cards that have been dumped into the Graveyard. If he's on the field, a 6/6 Deathtouch is pretty sweet as a solid body.
Soul of Theros
- Just in case I wasn't winning hard enough, +2/+2 First Strike Lifelinkers are always viable in any matchup.
