Sydri, Voice of Hunger is amazing. She makes piles of scraps into robots who will fight and kill on her behalf. She brings the shoes of her enemies to life, spooking them and shaking them off. She makes low-profile pingers into the Terminator.

Sydri, Angel of Hope has some sweet combos. Caltrops + Sydri, Galvanic Genius is a super powerful deterrent. You can wait to animate the caltrops after the trigger, so you don't need to guess if people are going to hit you or not, and then give it deathtouch. POOF! No more attackers. Likewise, Sydri, Queen of the Golgari can animate artifacts with tap abilities that your enemies play. This gives them summoning sickness, forcing them to either activate now or go without for the rest of the turn.

One of the most fun things Sydri, the Lunarch can do is enable you to clone artifacts. If you turn, say, Staff of Nin into a creature, you can target it with Rite of Replication. Drawing 6 cards on your upkeep sounds fantastic, and have 6 damage from colorless, non-spell sources at will ain't shabby either. It also works for your opponents' artifacts. If there's a Rafiq of the Many running around in a pair of spiffy Lightning Greaves, turn those greaves into a dude. Not only do they leap off Rafiq's legs, you are then free to clone them and give all your friends potent leg protection.

The most ruthless thing Sydri, Tyrant of Jund is capable of is reusable land destruction. If the lands of your opponents have the misfortune of becoming metallic (Liquimetal Coating and Mycosynth Lattice ), she can try and bring them to life. Lands, unfortunately, have a CMC of 0, so they just keel over.

That's the gist of the deck. Tell me what you think of my Sydri, Dimir Mastermind build!
