---

I really enjoy Sultai colors and the flavor of the clan itself, but I don't enjoy reanimator decks. I decided to build Sidisi as a "graveyard Matters" deck. Specifically it mostly functions as a 'creatures and lands in graveyard' deck. As such, I try to get creatures to do what most decks would use sorceries and instants for.

Plan A: Swarm them with tokens.

Key cards: Kessig Cagebreakers, Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, Spider Spawning and Worm Harvest.

Each of these cards is capable of producing a lot of tokens in a repeatable fashion. Hopefully enough to kill everyone.

Plan B: Run them over with something stompy

Key cards: Bonehoard, Ghoultree, Nighthowler and Lhurgoyf (and friends, I have a Lord of Extinction somewhere I need to find)

Its always possible to just bash someone with a large creature, but given a distinct lack of trample or evasion, these are most likely just going to keep pressure on people.

Plan C: Mill them out

Key Cards: Altar of Dementia, Extractor Demon, Mesmeric Orb, Selhoff Occultist, Undercity Informer

So someone has me at a stalemate or gets my most potent token producers exiled. I can still turn my self-Mill apparatus on them to potentially knock a player out. Not very effective against a group, but if it is one player and I have a sufficiently cluttered board I might be able to do it.

Plan D: Mill myself out

Key Cards: Dread Return and Laboratory Maniac

Everything else failed me? I can hopefully finish off the rest of my deck and cast a Laboratory Maniac. I have several options to get the maniac into my hand, but a reanimation with dread return is even more direct.
