Your Strip Mine is listed at TCG mid $0.20. All of my wut.

canterlotguardian: Interesting. The link to it earlier in this comment-thread still lists it at 6, but both the one in the decklist and the one in your comments put it at $.2 - I have no idea either, haha!

canterlotguardian: Having poked around a little bit, the price appears to be inexplicably tied to Air Elemental's price, rather than the correct card (you can see that's the card listed when you go and try to look for its price). I...have no idea how that happened, tbh.

+1'ed. very interesting with lots of choices to make. Every game is going to be different for sure. Love Wake the Dead

ohmless: Thank you! And yes, Wake the Dead is such an under-appreciated card - I actually submitted it to this last week's Command Tower article as the most powerful card in my deck. Personally, I like it even more than Living Death, although that one also works well as a board wipe...

Hi there! Love the list, especially the suicide combo. Sidisi is one of the most fun and interesting commanders to me, so I was wondering if you could critique my list a little bit? It'd be greatly appreciated! Naga, Zombies, Voodoo, Oh My!

IDK about BFZ stuff. Sire of Stagnation is just stupid good, but Catacomb Sifter and Greenwarden of Murasa are all value.

+1 for name title alone

Consider adding Exhume and Reanimate for cheap reanimation spells.

Diabolic Servitude is a great way to repeatedly reanimate creatures.

Genesis is a great way to get repeatable value from your creatures. You don't have a lot of card draw, so he can give you some late game potential.

Sire of Stagnation and Fact or Fiction are two great card draw cards in your colors. Sire just because of how dramatically he can affect a game without being a giant threat (such as Consecrated Sphinx), and Fact or Fiction because you'll get a zombie and some cards.

Finally, Nim Deathmantle is a great value engine.

Hopefully some of these seem decent.

Really good deck, +1 , I faved it..I do not know what to suggest, it seems so complete. A Languish maybe?

Great deck, but I think a Sheoldred, Whispering One will help.

+1

I was wondering: how is the Mirror-mad Phantasm working for you? Do you get to reap its benefits (notably Laboratory Maniac)? Or is it also a suicide card?

Mirror-Mad Phantasm is one of the all-stars in the deck, since it's so cheap to statistically mill half of your deck, plus it's a relatively big flyer that dodges removal. Necrotic Ooze also works very well with it, for obvious reasons. Having a large graveyard is its own benefit in this deck, but I've also won off of Lab Man from it, yes.

That being said, it's often a problem to have a MMP in your opening hand, since having early double blue is a bit tricky. I usually mulligan him away and abuse his ability once he's been milled (especially off of Wake the Dead since he is not sacrificed if you use his ability).

Thanks for explaining. Considering...I think your deck could benefit from a Whispersilk Cloak, for instance (but not exclusively) first trigger Mirror-Mad Phantasm's ability, equip a creature with strong graveyard affinity (Troll, Ooze, some other) with the Cloak and attack. It also helps your Sidisi of course.

I made a $35 version of this deck, to compete with the MSRP of the Commander Precons! Still plays very well, and I'm extremely proud of it haha :) but it could always use more revisions! Check it out here: $35 Extreme Budget $idisi EDH

Whoops - I made this post in the wrong place! Let's try this again...

I love how without the premium lands, this deck would be relatively low in cost. It is definitely different from what I've seen. +1 from me for the creativity.

snotice: If you like low-cost decks, check out my $35 version of this deck that's linked to in the description! :)

Nice deck

How come you have chosen Beast Within? Because it says permanents or because you could use it for you own good? Why not use something like Hero's Downfall?

Hewer: It's one of the very few spells that can hit any permanent whatsoever, it has less color commitment then Hero's Downfall, and a 3/3 is not very relevant in EDH. Honestly, it's one of the best removal spells ever printed in EDH.

I'm glad you like my deck! :)

Have you ever considered running Orbs of Warding? It's another Witchbane Orb but with an additional effect.

Eridian22: I have considered both, but I haven't decided what (if anything) to cut for them. I'd have to spend a recursion spell to grab it from my graveyard, and most of the graveyard hate I'm actually worried about (Rest in Peace and Leyline of the Void and Relic of Progenitus and Withered Wretch and Scavenging Ooze in particular) isn't targeted. The second ability isn't extremely relevant in my meta (the first ability already nixes niv-mizzet), although it would be more helpful than removing curses, I suppose.

Hi, I've recently built my own Sidisi and I focus little bit more on dredge, although the work is far from finished =) As for gy protection, there isn't much to choose in these colors if you ditch the Eldrazi titans and you already know about shroud and hexproof against mass removal. If you wanna try the orbs, Glissa, the Traitor offers excellent recursion value in these colors. Against wretches and oozes there is Ground Seal, which also shuts you off from most of your own reanimation spells, which makes it slightly better in Karador, Ghost Chieftain than Sidisi. Leyline of the Void and Rest in Peace are our common enemy, there isn't very much to do about them, beside destroying them ASAP and Stifle RiP etb trigger (note that Stifle is viable against broader variety of gy hate). Also I would be a bit worried about playing Massacre Wurm. I tend to not play creatures that can kill me or shut me off if reanimated by my opponent, e.g. I don't play Linvala, Keeper of Silence in my Captain Sisay deck just as I don't play Angel of Finality in my W/B reanimator.

PS: if you like, you can check my profile, I too have built Marchesa, the Black Rose =)

Oh forgot to mention Krosan Reclamation and Memory's Journey but they probably aren't worth it even combined with Riftsweeper.
