Out: Dreamborn Muse Chronic Flooding Consuming Aberration

In: Mortivore Tombstone Stairwell Forgotten Creation Stairwell is a perfect fit, but i need to acommondate it by reducing cards that mill my opponents

Deck description

This is a budget multiplayer decklist I made for Sidisi. I really think that as far as balance between power/budget/fun she is nearly unparallelled as a commander.

You should be able to get this deck at TGC-low for under 35$. The only cards that really cost anything are Traumatize , Altar of Dementia and Sewer Nemesis . If you want to go even more extreme with the budget, cut the painlands ,illusionist combo and switch Nemesis with Undergrowth Scavenger.

The general gameplan is to cast Sidisi, Brood Tyrant and start milling yourself to generate armies of zombies as well as make all sorts of graveyard interactions possible. The deck features quite a bit of different mechanisms for getting cards in your graveyard. The most powerful of these are Traumatize and Tunnel Vision after you get a dredge-creature into your graveyard, your draw-engines become very powerful mill-spells, especially Windfall and Jace's Archivist are pretty abusable when you dredge your draws.

Large graveyard enables your primary wincons. Recurring combos like:

Altar of Dementia + Extractor Demon or Hair-Strung Koto to mill everyone out.

Necrotic Ooze + Mirror-Mad Phanasmor Body Double instantly mills your deck with the exeption of Dread

After you have milled yourself, flashback Dread Return , Returning Laboratory Maniac and then Flashback Deep Analysis to win the game.

Another way to win is to Return Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and sacrifice a huge creature like Consuming Aberration or Mortivore

There is also the non-graveyard combo of Cephalid Illusionist+Lightning Greaves which produces infinite mill/zombies

Milling your opponents is also a possibility,in this case using Villainous Wealth or koto to finish them off can be effective.

You do not need to rely on these combos however, winning through combat damage with armies of zombies is very viable especially with Wonder in the graveyard and once youu get going, the deck is pretty hard to disrupt as you will be playing your graveyard as much as your hand.

This allows getting crazy value out of your spells by reusing them. For example, target Tunnel Vision naming Twiligth's call and chances are , you will reanimate a recursion enabler like Archaeomancer or Skullwinder , which allows you to cast your reanimation spells again and again in loops. Especially Wake the Dead is downright broken in abusing the ETB-effects of your creatures.

Overall the deck is really fun to play with all the graveyard interaction and possibility for explosiveness. If you ever want to upgrade it in the future, you can upgrade the manabase and start adding more non-budget cards such asMesmeric Orb , Golgari Grave-Troll , Eternal Witness and Living Death

Any feedback and improvement suggestions are greatly appreciated!
