hyalopterouslemur on Fun cards make fun decks

Tombstone Stairwell can be fun. Everyone likes extra tokens. You can use entry and death triggers (Think Blood Artist and Suture Priest.) to break the symmetry. But it has cumulative upkeep, so it won't be on the board for long.

Monkey Cage is just fun. It's really great with Living Death or Rise of the Dark Realms since the Cage is worded such that it sees all the creatures enter and triggers to all of them (meaning if a creature which costs {1}{U}, a creature which costs {B}{B}{B}, and a creature which costs {W} enter at the same time, you get six tokens.), but even Smile at Death or Victimize nets you two creatures (and tokens equal to their total mana value). Plus, it's a fun creature type with a little bit of unpredictability.

Always nice to see another Yawgmoth user. I personally prefer Funeral Room / Awakening Hall due to the mass reanimate it can provide in the late game.

Regarding reanimation spells, I feel Victimize is a must have since it's amazing value in a deck like this. Chthonian Nightmare can also recur many of your creatures every turn.

I'm curious why you're not using any of the cheap reanimation enchantments like Animate Dead and Necromancy. I get your reasoning in using the instant revives for protection, but I like the option of being able to revive things on my own timing.

Spymaster's Vault gets you some great card selection potential with enough sacrifices.

Some favorite sac fodder providers I enjoy are Weaponcraft Enthusiast, Chittering Witch, and Sengir Autocrat. Like the Wriggling Grub, they provide the most bang for your buck.

Since you're running Vindictive Vampire, Phyresis might be a nice tech to include for her as a way of getting around either massive life totals or not having your undying combo out.

Lethal Scheme is another option for planeswalker removal, letting you squeeze a bit extra use out of your creatures and giving you extra card selection.

Not a suggestion, but I think it's fair to classify Nest of Scarabs as a boardwipe lol.

Sliverguy420 didn't mention any removal despite saying you needed some- I recommend you include Unholy Heat, or potentially something like Krosan Grip so that you can stop the chaining decks like Storm from piling over you. Things like Force of Vigor help you for casting-for-free, and helping prioritize other slots of the deck. I don't know what budget you have at your disposal, but in terms of reanimating, I recommend you use a Sultai ({U}{B}{G}) shell to get the most out of your reanimating potential. Reanimate,Entomb,Animate Dead,Victimize are all considerable options for the prospect of bringing stuff back from the grave.

Don't forget that Graveyards are super easy to target, and having slots for your sideboard to counteract Graveyard removal are super important. Endurance would be a perfect inclusion for that role. Other cards that may help are Feldon's Cane, and Gaea's Blessing.

Best of luck with your deckbuilding, and don't forget that Life from the Loam also exists to help you snatch lands for casting on curve, while also filling your graveyard in order to have more reanimation targets.

Updates to the list:

Can't remember what got cut for them, but Bloodsoaked Champion and Skrelv's Hive have been added to the list. Bloodsoaked acts as a secondary 1-drop Reassembling Skeleton, and Hive as a redundant Bitterblossom fodder generator.

-1 Vat of Rebirth +1 Victimize

The Vat was in the list for a bit as a cheap 1-drop artifact that could help steadily recur creatures from our yard, but at sorcery speed activation was a little slow. Vicimize has been swapped in for double duty as a death trigger and instant gratification reanimation.

-1 Scoured Barrens +1 Despark

This list doesn't struggle with clearing out hordes of creatures at all between plenty of wipes and Grave Pact effects, but it did need more versatile noncreature removal. Despark replaces a tapland to offer an additional answer to problematic permanents.

It's a nice middle of the road between Mausoleum Secrets and Rune-Scarred Demon. There's probably some silly reanimation loops (Victimize, Eternal Witness?)you could use this for, which might make it play way better than it looks. The fact that it searches for it's own combo pieces might prove problematic in practice, but probably no more than Prime Speaker Vannifar does.

"And/or" is redundant, if it says "or" it can already find all the cards that are "and".

Seuchenschutz on Sidisi Brood Commander

Thx for the suggestions Andramalech! Im really happy to get some feedback on this deck. In an earlier Version i had 2-3 cheap counters in the deck An Offer You Can't Refuse, Swan Song and a Negate but I took them out, because they became a salt factor in my playgroup. Whatever. Victimize is a great card, but after playing it for a while, I often felt like them coming tapped and leaving me with less blockers for a turn is kind of a big downside. I had some situations, where I just couldnt afford to cast it. As for the Diabolic Intent its the same with the counters. Salty players... But I just couldnt get myself to cut the Demonic Tutor. Plumb the Forbidden however might be worth a shot.

Sidisi, Brood Tyrant is so slept on in EDH these days, at least in my circles. It's a great pick, and with a new Tarkir set on the horizon in 2025, I think we should see a reprint. But I digress, this deck is great and I love that it seems like you've got something to cast pretty much every turn. There's a really healthy balance of land and creatures, but potentially consider Plumb the Forbidden or something like Diabolic Intent, potentially Victimize. I really like what I see here but you're lacking a considerable amount of instants, things like Swan Song, Strix Serenade, etc. Just some interaction and draw power would be my only suggestions.

I didn't see Ayara, First of Locthwain in your deck at first. Ayara + Soultrader + Gravecrawler is an all creature infinite wincon combo that Buried Alive can put into your graveyard and Victimize can reanimate Ayara + Soultrader, it doesn't matter if they ETB tapped.
