Graveyard-recycling creature toolbox deck.

(inb4 opponent's turn one Tormod's Crypt or Nihil Spellbomb)

Self-mill to produce zombie tokens and buff graveyard-centric creatures & spells. The deck consists mostly of creatures to get maximum value from Sidisi and other creatures-in-graveyard-centric cards. Based on cumulative hypergeometric probabilities, odds of hitting a creature off a turn 4 Sidisi ETB trigger sit between 83-90% (depending on how many creatures you've already drawn by that point).

This deck prioritizes getting value over assembling combos, and mostly wants to just mill itself and use its full graveyard as a resource. It has a decent amount of artifact & enchantment hate to get rid of anything that's in the way of the self-mill gameplan. Bane of Progress is a powerhouse.

The best thing about the deck is its resiliency against board wipes. Opposing return-to-hand board wipes such as Cyclonic Rift, Devastation Tide, Evacuation especially give you tons of value as you can reuse all your creatures' ETB effects.

As long as you have your graveyard as a resource, you should be able to bounce back using all the recursion & flashback. Since the deck's key cards increase in power the larger your graveyard is, the deck naturally scales well into the late game and can sometimes take an early lead if you manage to get quick mills.


Finishers

Graveyard-fuelled creatures (Golgari Grave-Troll, Splinterfright, Svogthos, the Restless Tomb) made unblockable (Rogue's Passage).

Lotleth Giant for direct player damage.

Living Death almost always represents a lethal shift of the board state in your favour.

Graveyard-fuelled token generation through Kessig Cagebreakers, Spider Spawning, Izoni, Thousand-Eyed, or Sidisi, Brood Tyrant + Altar of Dementia. Followed by Craterhoof Behemoth or Triumph of the Hordes.

Laboratory Maniac. This custom combo uses Necrotic Ooze or Body Double copying Mirror-Mad Phantasm's ability from graveyard to mill your entire library. Then you can flashback Dread Return targeting Laboratory Maniac and flashback Think Twice to win on the spot.
