Help with Mill/Reanimator cards
Commander Deck Help forum

I am thinking about making a mill/self mill/reanimator commander deck. The general is up in the air at the moment, though I am leaning towards Tasigur, the Golden Fang or Sidisi, Brood Tyrant. I really like both of them, Sidisi especially. But I want a sub theme of taking things from my opponents graveyard (see Necromantic Summons). So any ideas of cards that have effects that support this.
Colors don't have to be bug, but would prefer to stay away from grixis as I already have Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge and Nekusar, the Mindrazer.
I really like Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, the only other commanders that I would recommend are Geth, Lord of the Vault or Phenax, God of Deception. Geth is good if you want to rely on cards in your deck more, and just use him for the sub theme you mentioned. Phenax is good for mill ing yourself and opponents. I would focus on a zombie token theme of you are going to use Phenax. Personaly I think your choice of Sidisi is best.
Here are most of the cards that take from others graveyards

Thanks for the list! I definitely like Geth in the 99 for sure, not sure as a commander since that makes it mono black, but it is possible. Phenax is my favorite god from Theros and was most likely making the cut.
And that deck reminded me of Havengul Lich which is another good card for this idea.

It's not exactly built around self-mill, but it heavily abuses everyone's graveyards.
