Here's a casual yet powerful Sidisi self-mill reanimator deck that I've been crafting for a while. It was a much simpler & cheaper list originally, but now includes some more expensive cards that do more fun things (Deathrite Shaman, Sidisi, Undead Vizier, Endurance, Demonic Consultation, etc.) These are picks that can be easily replaced by cheaper options, such as a Diabolic Tutor, or Blessed Respite to save yourself from getting Bojuka Bogged.

Beside our commander, cards like Altar of Dementia, Old Stickfingers, and Hermit Druid- as well as combos such as Basalt Monolith + Mesmeric Orb or The Gitrog Monster + Underrealm Lich - allow us to put absurd quantities of fun things into our second hand. In tandem with Syr Konrad, the Grim, or even just having Sidisi on the board, this can lead to a devastating chain of events; the former method often killing opponents on their own upkeep due to late game Mesmeric Orb triggers. Picks like Lazav, the Multifarious & Body Double are great for if you happen to mill a critical reanimator such as Whisper, Blood Liturgist, or simply to devilishly double your reanimation triggers. There are a few different ways to achieve a win with this deck: most of which simply involve beating face with infinite zombies, but the possibility of milling the table's library to zero exists well.

This deck just churns out big turns and can get out of hand quickly, which often leads to the others in my playgroup targeting me exclusively. This is likely because I am greedy and will take any chance I get to do lots of things in one turn. If you play your turns wisely you can avoid this. I am not wise. One thing is for certain, this deck is a blast to play for anyone who enjoys seeing at least 75% of their deck every game. There is definitely room for improvement, as well as some better reanimation spells like Animate Dead, Ad Nauseam, and Exhume that are still sold out at my LGS. Please let me know what you think, if there is anything worth cutting or adding, or any other options to make this list more budget friendly for others.
