Introduction

My Sidisi reanimation and self-mill deck. Built with a few things in mind:

  • Completely tutorless, not even tutoring for land. Less shuffling, more time for play.
  • Using some spells that can be played even if they end up in my graveyard, i.e. mechanics like Flashback (Spider Spawning and Dredge (Life from the Loam).
  • Prioritizing disruption that affect all opponents and give a 2-(or more)-for-1-effect, i.e. playing Bane of Progress over Acidic Slime.
  • Having a flexible gameplan. The main goal is to mill my own deck and reanimate a combopiece, but I can also mill my opponents and reanimate from their graveyards. This also scales the power level the deck against particularly strong or weak decks.

Gameplan


Mill myself out with Cephalid Illusionist + Lightning Greaves or Mesmeric Orb + Basalt Monolith. Win with Laboratory Maniac.

a) Creature spam (Tokens / Living Death)
b) Big beaters (Nighthowler, etc.)
...followed up by either:
a) / b) + Wonder
a) / b) + Filth + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
b) + Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord + Victimize


Use Altar of Dementia or Phenax, God of Deception to mill out opponents. Achievable both with big beaters, a swarm of tokens or Phenax withEater of the Dead.

Updates Add

This deck is now retired. Some changes I played around with for a while:
Out: Army of the Damned, Deadbridge Chant, Havengul Lich, Bloom Tender, Hermit Druid, Lhurgoyf, Satyr Wayfinder, Prophet of Kruphix
In: Corpse Augur, Deep Analysis, Windfall, Archfiend of Depravity, Gravespawn Sovereign, Thassa, God of the Sea, Viscera Seer, Zulaport Cutthroat.

All in all the deck functioned well and was a blast to play, with a lot of varying ways to assemble an infinite combo. It won a fair amount of games. Viscera Seer helped the deck to put Wonder and Filth back into the graveyard after a Living Death. Windfall is a great combo with Notion Thief. Deep Analysis helped drawing cards after milling myself out, triggering Laboratory Maniac.

Some ideas I didn't find room for:
Scrying, putting LabManiac on the bottom of the library and casting Tunnel Vision on myself.
Gravecrawler comboing with Phyrexian Altar or in synergy with Mind Slash, Attrition, Ahnod's Altar or Skullclamp.
Spell Crumple / Hinder with Tunnel Vision.

The following cards were proxies:
Reanimate, Necromancy, Basalt Monolith, Eater of the Dead, Wake the Dead.
