Sidisi Brood Tyrant Commander Deck Tech

Sidisi Brood Tyrant is the most popular sultai commander because she works so well in the color combination. I have been tempted to build her by a card in Rivals of Ixalan -- Path of Discovery. I cannot imagine a more fun synergy. In fact, Sidisi works so well in all the sultai colors combinations that Sidisi has an army of lieutenants in this deck to help the synergy, interesting interactions, and power-level.

Just came back to this video after a while, and it brings back memories. I just started playing Magic in 2018, and my decks, like lots of people's early decks, were full of janky draft chaff cards that I just thought were cool. Sidisi, however, was the first commander I got where I was like: "This is a deck I really want to make as something special", and so I splurged on things like Gravecrawler, Golgari Grave Troll, Genesis, and other such cards. However, it wasn't enough. I distinctly remember the time I came across this video. I wanted more info on how to make a better Sidisi deck, so I did something I've never done before up to that point. I looked up a deck tech, and found this one first. I was in my mom's hospital room. She was there for a routine check up after a long battle with breast cancer that had lasted for years up to that poin. Unfortunately, my mother died the same year on Christmas Day. In those final days, things were incredibly stressful because we had lots of people coming in and out of the house, and my grandmother(mother's side) doesn't exactly have the highest opinion of my dad, so there was a lot of tension in the house. Fortunately, I still had one salvation. My local game store, and Magic the Gathering. DJ was really the first Magic KZbinr I really got to know through watching his videos, and this video in particular takes me back to when I first started playing, and also reminds me of my mother, as well as the fact that, for a while, Magic was the only thing I had to get me through one of the darkest periods of my life. Thank you DJ for being such and awesome guy.

[@MarsEsRojo]

This is a very touching story. I hope that everything has been going alright in your life as one SBT and DJ fan to another.

[@REON-pw5ze]

"self-mill ourselves" sure, redundancy is what we want on EDH !

[@Yourbeautiful666]

There is a reason why Sidisi is the most popular sultai commander. Because leovold is banned.

[@JumboCommander]

LOL, I do think Sidisi hits a sweet spot. Good but not TOO good. She uses an interesting mechanic but not ones that precludes you from using your favorite sultai cards.

[@mgrmurtag]

Yourbeautiful666 Leovold is banned for a very good reason

[@Yourbeautiful666]

Jumbo Commander Oh, I agree. I think she’s an incredibly strong commander that’s pretty different from most other legendary creatures. I like that she can be a simple casual deck while also having great competitive potential. She’s definitely a lot more fun than Leovold as well lol. But, if he wasn’t banned I still think he’d be the most played.

[@usernameunidentified9874]

What are you talking about? I still see Leovold being played online.

[@Lucarioguild7]

Yourbeautiful666 Personally I prefer Damia or Tasigur, they allow for really broad strategies

[@EvanPlaysPc]

Hey dude, ive been watching your for a while, and i have to say, the quality of your videos have gotten rediculously good! Your channel can be even bigger yet!

[@EvanPlaysPc]

damn, ill take a heart xD

[@GBPortfolio]

I've been thinking about building Sidisi for a while and this video was just the inspiration I needed. You make incredibly good content from the audio quality to the edits to, most importantly, the deck tech itself. Fantastic work, I look forward to each new upload.

[@aidennoir597]

I just made a rough draft of this deck on tappedout a few days ago. You gave me some great additions here, but it also feels good to see that I already had a number of your cards in it. It means I'm doing something right. :)

[@antonalberts9230]

With the advent of dominaria, adding Muldrotha to the 99 is a game changer, now if you mill your Path to Discovery or Palace siege, no worries, they are right there for the taking. Add to that Kamahls Druidic Vow, Tatyova(comboing with Gitrog and Ramunap Excavator), Final Parting, Dark Bargain and Memory to folly! Thank you so much for this original Deck Tech Jumbo Commander, it's now one of my favourite EDH decks!

[@malkavian6275]

I've been waiting for this ;) thank you jumbo!

[@aarontenner6362]

I had never considered explore with this commander, but that is so sweet! A really phenominal deck tech; keep up the good work!

[@OliverPassemard]

Great job! You really show how great cards work together in unexpected ways

[@DVS57REBEL]

Glad you made this video ive been had a sidisi pile of cards on back burner

[@mapancho]

Dude! I'm starting to play Sidisi and this helped me a lot! Thanks.

[@USAltefore]

Sidisi was the first Commander deck I built, way back in December 2015. So many great memories! Like milling my friend's Karador deck, then playing Bojuka Bog. Or using Mindcrank with Duskmantle Guildmage. I haven't upgraded the deck in quite a while, and I'd really like to get around to doing that. This video served as a reminder of some of the fantastic cards from the past few sets which I'd like to include. Cheers!

[@mattstrott753]

Perfect timing! My Sidisi deck is on deck to be retooled and this helps a lot!

[@mintspears6714]

Built Sidisi a few months ago and absolutely love it. So flexible and easy to use but packs a huge punch

[@ThatGuyWhoPlaysMagic]

This deck is freaking awesome! I love these color combinations and these affects! Why I have not built a deck of him is beyond me.

[@mapletreefrog]

Yolo Swaggins her

[@instantspeedlive8667]

Sidisi was my first deck! Was great to see some non-budget weapons I have thus far ignored. Would perhaps like to see a budget sultai build from you as well. Thanks for the quality vid!

[@ImaginationHobbies]

i love this deck. i used to play it a couple years back but SOOOOOO MANNNYYY GOOOD CAARRDDSSS have come out for it since

[@steffenpabst3432]

Thanks for fullfilling my deck tech wish!

[@dallasfischer6164]

Wow this really helped, I got some good tips from this video dude. I need to get done cards for my deck now. :)

[@pablocastilla1176]

I pulled Path of Discovery in my prerelease and knew I had to build Sidisi, but didn't know where to start. I love some your ideas, including a light-but-not-all-in zombie subtheme!

[@Lumautis]

Im glad im going through some of your older vids lately. Surveil Drool

[@Summon_Aery]

Brood Tyrant is such a cool commander!

[@JumboCommander]

She feels good huh, she rides the line, she is powerful but NOT broken at all. Interesting and synergistic but NOT too narrow to exclude cards. She's great.

[@Summon_Aery]

Yeah she's a powerful open ended commander that has multiple applications and build arounds, whilst also not being unfair or overly oppressive. A very fun commander to play for sure.

[@eqwhite21]

Awesome deck profile 😊👍

[@hoojchoons6168]

@Jumbo Commander Thanks for the inspiration! I started playing commander a year or so ago after not playing magic for about 18-19 years. One of the first decks I tried to put together was Ruric Thar, the unbowed, but couldn't quite make it work. Your video inspired me to revisit that deck since the same logic applies to wanting a lot of creatures to do affects as opposed to other types of cards. Certainly won't be competitive the way I'm building it, but I had a lot of fun looking for creatures that do things I would typically do with enchantments, artifacts, sorceries, etc as well as recursion, card draw and ramping. For example I added in a few Bloodrush cards since they aren't technically spells being played and I can use them as creatures if need be or have them come back to hand via other graveyard recursion from creatures and not take the Ruric Thar penalty.

[@JumboCommander]

Fun > Competitve I like Zur-Ta Druid in that deck. It's the ramp you need. It's little bits of damage that add up making Ruric thar hurt even more. It's also not overpowered or overpriced just a solid flavorful little uncommon.

[@simonlefebvre2005]

nice another wonderful deck tech, wow. You are amazing

[@JumboCommander]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@zd-1249]

Just came here to say that my Path of Discovery triggered 5 times in a row in my last game and it was glorious.

[@zapcuno8271]

sweet you did the deck i suggested :)

[@justtib7429]

Really thank you for this deck tech ! :) I have a commander deck The scarab god but with 3 colors Sidisi should be more fun to play :) Continue like that !

[@smargio]

I've been thinking about building this so I am glad to see some new card options. I did not think about path of discovery. Sweet.

[@JumboCommander]

That single interaction caused me to update an old clunky list.

[@smargio]

10/10 would jank again.

[@thegamingroomRD]

great deck on my fav ,colour convination

[@reymarkable]

I jus made a sidisi deck. I use a good amount of zombies jus go wide strategy. The great thing about sidisi is the consist threats and reestablishing the board after board wipes with reanimator. It’s a fun deck

[@aitoriri1]

Will we see a Prossh deck? One of my favorite Commanders and maybe the Best Jund Commander. Great video as alwais

[@antonalberts9230]

Hey Jumbo, thanks for this vid, I've never been 100% satisfied with my sidisi deck, this has just made it broken! I've both Lord of Extinction and Consuming Aberration, but what takes it to the next level is adding Grave Pact and/or Dictate of Erebos! Combined with Altar of Dementia, pure board wiping, deck milling fun.

[@antonalberts9230]

Ps. and then saccing Lord/Aberration to Jarad.

[@thelunchlady8276]

Holy Moly! Never seen Ixidron before! Hehe, I can think of some things I can do with this...

[@alexanderstojanow3773]

Videos like this, is why I love your channel. You take a commander, that seems really boring to me (being heavily played or very linear) and than you make it really cool, exciting and different! Homerun Video! Now I want to build this deck!

[@computersocsci]

If we're going for an opponent-mill subtheme: Altar of the Brood! Also, I looooove Victimize in decks with token creatures.

[@JamFlexx]

"Jared, Golgari Lich Lord" XD

[@hawkeye137137]

Even thought it is a sorcery, Ever After is a perfect fit for Sidisi imo. You bring back two creatures from graveyard and they are both zombies, so good.

[@cafeofbadum4133]

Instantly ordered a mesmeric orb for my Sidisi under construction! I'll build my deck with as many explore creatures as possible and then use living end/living death to reanimate all my creatures and my path of discovery will get me soo many explore triggers especially with a panharmonicon out. Some Sac outlets for my creatures will get me my entire army back (tokens not...) with a living end and perhaps wipe the table completely. Thank you for your deck tech!

[@JumboCommander]

Good luck tweaking your deck. I hope it performs really well.

[@aidennoir597]

Kederekt Leviathan is a great fit for this deck I think. It's a board wipe on a creature that hits all nonland permanents (bounces instead of destroys, but still effective), but most importantly it has unearth so you can easily access it from the graveyard whenever you need it.

[@YourPalRowan]

Added synergy: embalmers tools. For all intents and purposes it's another copy of Path of Discovery. Chains a bunch of zombies together. Also can mill opponents if you can't bust right through their defenses. And it taps the zombies, so you've got more Orb triggera

[@ExteezHD]

I have a graveyard toolbox Sidisi deck, but i believe most of these could spice up your deck: -Use Krosan Restorer instead of Werebear. Yeah, Werebear gets bigger with threshold, but KR untaps any kind of land. Even 3 lands. -Cut the tutor Sidisi. Use Razaketh instead. He costs more mana, but you can tutor for days thanks to the amount of zombie tokens you gonna have. You get in a bad situation? tutor. The board gonna get wiped? Sac all you creatures and tutor for Bojuka Bog and Living Death. - Necrotic Ooze. Just use it. Jarad order tutor Ooze, pitch Razaketh, Avatar of Woe, or whatever card with a great activated ability. - Stitch Together: 2 black for reanimating an Emrakul the Promised End? Just simply feels so good. - Avatar of Woe is usually 2 black and basicly has - Gravespawn Sovereign. Tap 5 zombies to reanimate a creature. Tell me what kind of tokens does Sidisi make? - Kessig Cagebreakers. Because wolfs.

[@fdragon77fk]

one creature that might be good to include is loaming shaman, since you mill yourself so much loaming shaman can let you put only what you want from your graveyard back in your deck to remill, prevent you from milling yourself out, and just to redraw and cast in general.

[@JammerSoul]

Dude, Path of Discovery, I put it into my old Sidisi deck and during a game got 10 triggers of Sidisi. Great suggestion and awesome video

[@JumboCommander]

OK, 10 is the record I have to beat. I haven't had a chance to put this interaction together since I updated my old list but this is my new goal.

[@drianfrost2712]

I Actually made a deck close to this one a year ago, world shaper and path of discovery are good add on :), Honesly this deck build on combo and zombie agro is quite strong

[@adambarkman1326]

I definitely run a bit of a Gitrog package only needing to include a few non-creature spells to make him work as well. I have Excavation which lets me(and the rest of the table) sacrifice lands to draw cards, I do run the Splendid reclamation in addition to the Merfolk, I run Life from the Loam...and possible something else and Sidisi and Gitrog go really well together because they can both work off of Sidisi's ability.

[@kapiatgatas]

After seeing this, I found out I got most of the cards mentioned. I build one right away and played it last Friday for 3 games to players I have not played before. Oh man, I won right out. Right after the 1st game, the 2nd and 3rd was a dismay playing with another bunch. They countered it, removal spells. One player even exiled Sidisi 3X. 6X I have to cast Sidisi in one game and I milled Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Whispersilk Cloak and Path of discovery. I added additional counterspells and removal spells of my own. And I'm gonna play it again this Friday. To note: the first time ever happen to me, nobody wants to play against me with Krenko. I'm shock.

[@Ninthtail9]

Built this a while ago and added path of discovery. My friends all hate me buuuuut, worth it!

[@JumboCommander]

Have you had a chance to "go off" with it yet? How many zombos have you "chained" together with multiple explores?

[@ronniegeddes5072]

This deck is awesome. I had never looked at Sidisi with Explore or (as obvious as it seems) Taigam. I was too excited to run Taigam as a commander I guess.

[@PhazonOmega]

"Let's say for example we traumatize our-self." ~Jumbo Commander, 2018

[@justinfaretta4075]

Hey man. I just started going through your channel after seeing you on command zone, and loving your deck techs. I’ve been playing sidisi since her release and she’s one of my favorite commanders. You have some great advice that will really level up my deck. Here’s a couple recommendations for you to try. 1. Sultai ascendancy. I know if it not a creature it needs to be good, but I think this makes the cut. Grants a better version of scry, for this type of deck. I’ll admit, I’m on the fence on if it’s good enough for not being a creature, especially with hand of sidisi being a thing. But I like redundant effects that grant synergy and advantage, so I keep for now. 2. Vengeful Pharaoh. A light/creature version of no mercy that can be placed back on top to always be milled again. It’s just a perfect for this. 3. Embalmers tools. Wow was I excited to see this printed. The first effect doesn’t matter much but tap an untapped zombie to mill a player for 1? This is a hint of chaos potential that makes it to fun not to run. “End of your turn I’ll tap my zombie, get a token, tap that zombie, get a token, tap that zombie....oh it’s a land. Guess I only my get 6 free zombies this time.”

[@justinfaretta4075]

Also, any creature versions of parallel lives you could recommend?

[@justinfaretta4075]

Lastly, I realize it’s another non-creature, but gravepurge is amazing. It with embalmber tools just reads “3 mana: instant speed create a 2/2 zombie for each creature in your graveyard”

[@andrewcath4615]

awesome vid. any ideas for gisela blade of goldnight.?

[@jorochimaru]

I'm surprised you didn't mention life from the loam I believe that's the perfect card for this deck Mills and gives you lands

[@computersocsci]

Ooh, Vulturous Aven is good card draw for this deck.

[@jtizzle450]

Pretty surprised to not see Havengul Lich on this list. Just milled a creature you really wanted? 1+CMC you get to cast it and get it's abilities! Also interested in your opinion for buried alive in this deck, its a non-creature but it gets that genesis+wonder into your grave or maybe you have a reanimate dead and you want to get a fatty into the grave. Also for graveyard hate i always have to recommend deathrite shaman, gotta love em

[@javierfernandez7879]

I think that The Mimeoplasm would be such a nice addition to the deck, and how about Meren, of Clan Neltoth or Souldred, the Whisperer :O

[@dickheiney7281]

those are good but not super fast and a generic board wipe will destroy your 7 mana investment. I think getting some enchantments and artifacts like cryptolith rite, throne of the god pharaoh, phenax, parallel lives, growing rites, and phyrexian reclamation, and most important is concordant crossroads. those legendaries you mentioned are still great but it is hard to keep them around

[@osuasheuatl]

They changed the flavor text on Werebear? Wizards just hates fun, don't they?

[@Hearstabber]

I run a Sidisi Mill/Landfall deck I absolutely love her. Mesmeric Orb can be a double-edge sword. May I suggest Psychic Spiral....

[@eduardofroner6205]

That seems awesome, would love to see your decklist if you want to share it!

[@dave7592]

I play Sidisi and Foodchain is amazing with her.

[@emeryj3843]

It seems like this deck could be fun with the Collective Voyage into Mind Grind combo. Have everybody fetch all their lands, then use Mind Grind to mill them out easily.

[@14dcook]

I would advise adding in a Laboratory Maniac

[@christopherstoeffel4811]

I know it's a bit of a risky card sometimes, and also expensive ($$$), but I think Concordant Crossroads would be pretty sweet in this deck. Especially if you play it alongside Rise of the Dark Realms!

[@jackhopkins5312]

Graveborn muse+Scarab god= bestest combo ever

[@Lucarioguild7]

I'd love to see your take on a cycle theme in commander I feel with Amonkhet block we've reached critical mass to actually make a deck of it

[@JumboCommander]

I love this strategy. I kinda had one put together, I honestly think cycling is coming back soon rather than later. I want to see some more synergies

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

I've thought of building a Sidisi commander deck because It's a cool and unique commander, but I'm not a fan of decks that win with creature tokens. Now that you mention adding cards that mill your opponent, you got me interested in this commander again. I thought of making a The Mimeoplasm deck that mills (that sounds very weird), although this I think would be a more interesting Sultai milling commander.

[@JumboCommander]

I like some of the mimioplasm's interactions but sidisi feels like you are playing an entire wedge in magic, so fun.

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

Yeah Sidisi does seem like a lot more fun since you're doing much more, I just wish that I enjoyed winning with an army of tokens. Although the process of getting to that point sounds like a lot of fun! I might make a Sidisi deck over The Mimeoplasm. I'm also making a Sedris, the Traitor King deck, so I'd rather not be making two more reanimator decks, although Sidisi doesn't focus on reanimating, so I might be ok with that. I'd love to see you make a Sedris deck tech some time! I think Sedris is underplayed! Being able to reanimate creatures for three mana and giving them haste is nice! It's also in the perfect color combination for gettting creatures into your graveyard if you want to do that.

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

Hey also while we're talking about Sidisi, what do you think of Embalmer's Tools with Sidisi? It's not a creature, but I think a 2 mana artifact that allows you to keep tapping a zombie token to mill a card from your deck to make more tokens to tap and mill at instand speed is well worth it! Also if you want to add cards that mill your opponent Altar of the Brood would be a great addition! Mill each opponent a card for each of those tokens and lands that you play!

[@JumboCommander]

I saw it in EDH rec. I'm ... I'm fine with it. It was in my tapped out list but ... Have you ever seen it played? Is leaving it out a big miss?

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

Do you mean Embalmer's Tools? No I've never seen it played. I've only played with my group of friends. It just looks like it would be a very good card to include to me. I could be wrong.

[@marnixw8724]

I'm putting this together right now with a landfall subtheme. Can't wait to see my friends' faces if I can pull off a Mill (hedron crab) + graveyard hate + oblivion sower combo. Throw in an avenger of zendikar, lets go

[@lukasbubliauskas]

So here is what potential I see for this deck; -Since Ravnica came out, the “self-mill” abiltiy will be able to fuel the Golgari cards that you can put in the deck. Like a Rhizome Lurcher could become a 20/20. (Btw that actually happened to me in my MODERN deck.) -Sidisi is in blue so, you can maybe manipulate the top of your deck and then self-mill to get a few more zombies on the field. -With a Cellar Door and a Doubling Season you could get up to 4 2/2’s a turn. (That’s some spicy stuuf) -Again, since Sidisi is in some Golgari action, you could run Vraska, Regal Gorgon, and then just self-mill a few times, (possibly getting a couple zombies on the field) and then finally ultimate Vraska, and a bajillion counters on ALL your creatures. (That’s just a few ideas of what I thought of)

[@trevorknight3904]

Suggestion for a future deck tech, creatureless esper using Oloro as the commander.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Oloro throws the best slumber parties, he can Stax Pillows like no tomorrow:P

[@vincewithrow1868]

As a casual build this is pretty sweet. I personally play Sidisi suicide combo with hermit Druid.plenty of turn 2-3 wins but no one wants to play me anymore! Lol

[@JumboCommander]

They need to have decks that can interact with you in the same time frame (turns 1-3). Then it becomes like Canadian Highlander or Legacy ... and not just you winning :)

[@howles5651]

You should include Buried Alive!

[@wiesenacht]

My personal Sidisi deck is pretty light on Reanimator, though of course there's some. I feel one of the best Reanimate cards for Sidisi is Soul of Innistrad. 5 mana for 3 cards to hand is prime value, especially when it can be used in the graveyard! My build really focuses on going wide to chip away at everyones life total, before slamming down a Mortivore/Splinterfright/Lord of Extinction followed by using Jarad to nuke everyone for the rest of their health. One last suggestion for anyone interested: Look up Tombstone Stairwell, and GET YOU ONE BECAUSE ZOMBIES

[@kimjonathan6945]

Can you please do Titanian protector of argoth deck tech?

[@lunatik_8929]

Sewer nemesis is huge in this deck

[@kero1640]

Another great deck tech my friend. Haven't heard anyone talk about this combo but this deck would be perfect for it; arcane adaptation naming zombie and rooftop storm. Boom all your creatures now cots 0 to cast lol. Plus it would open the doors for strong zombie synergy. Love to hear your thoughts.

[@JumboCommander]

Great janky combo!

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

LOL Cool idea since you can add Conspiracy also for back up on zombie synergies

[@Mattismen]

Since you're not running many instants or sorcery cards in your own deck, I'd suggest including Wrexial, The Risen Deep. Helps your mill subtheme while stealing your opponents best spells. A ton of fun as a Commander on his own too!

[@JumboCommander]

A super fun card and another legendary creature! Sounds great.

[@antonalberts9230]

A guy on Xmage destroyed me with Wrexial/Bonehoard when I played my Sidisi Deck, definitely going to add them to my deck now. Silas Ren might be a good idea if you want to run some artifacts.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

I love to see Worldender being used as that card was not useful at all in limited. Custodi Lich is solid 5/5, I use that card in Meren:P

[@JumboCommander]

I'm glad you are using the lich, it's good right!?!?!?

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

I love Monarch, it just seems like a well balanced ability. I sometimes just let other players become monarch so they can war amongst themselves for card advantage:P

[@Solrex_the_Sun_King]

My friend who drafted yesterday (I paid for him as long as I got to keep what he drafted) literally just pulled me a path of discovery the other day!!! What the heck is this luck? Is KZbin Recommendations gone psychic? I- I- I can't even!

[@JumboCommander]

It's not KZbin, it's me, I'm watching you.

[@jeanmarais337]

Nice spin on go wide reanimate. I notice no counter spell. I play Meren and was looking out for what blue brings to the table...

[@bodygraphics302]

Could use Archaeomancer to reoccur a few instant or sorceries. I don't use counter spells in my Sidisi just bc I feel like I'm using an easy button. But it has definitely been on my list of considerations.

[@JumboCommander]

Mystic Snake!

[@Lollix87]

Hello Jumbo Commander, can I ask some pf your thoughts about Karador? Thanks

[@JumboCommander]

Karador is popular and powerful. Tons of ways to build powerful graveyard value. I think you can take this a lot of directions. It seems like after graveyard engines I see a lot good stuff in these decks.

[@Lollix87]

Jumbo Commander that's true. I'm brewing a budjet version that includes a little automill and some "fun" shenanigans that includes artisan of kozilek, karmic guide and the phyrexian delver to reuse the major threaths

[@necrofeo]

hello there jumbo. can u do decktech with the Mimeoplasm. i like that one more than sidisi

[@JumboCommander]

I used to have a mimioplasm deck. it was very fun, I'll talk about it eventually for sure.

[@firewolf4227]

Could you do a video on Kess with storm without spending more then 200 dollars?

[@AlwaysRushesIn]

Alter of Dementia + Helm of the Host + Sidisi

[@bodygraphics302]

I play this deck in my meta and it has become one of my new favorites by far. She's not super over powered, and no, I personally do not utilize zombie tribal very heavily in the deck, but she's still super fun and can honestly win out of nowhere. Especially with cards like Jarad, Wonder, Rise of the Dark Realms, and Ghoulcaller Gissa. She is a power house if you use cards like Apocalypse Demon, Golgari Grave-Troll, or Splinterfright. This deck tech makes me want to bust out a game right now haha! and uh...*cough* *cough* Parallel Lives....just saying.

[@JumboCommander]

I have seen this deck perform similarly - not overpowered but fun, synergistic without limiting the strategy. I could see us leaning into the token theme - gravetitan, hornet queen ... parallel lives can be flashed back when you mill it :D

[@mgrmurtag]

With all the self mill you're doing I would want a little protection from losing that way. Like elixir of immortality and laboratory maniac

[@PhazonOmega]

Milling that thing you needed is like having that thing at the bottom of your deck in the first place, since you're likely not going to get there, either.

[@cobtyrannon2479]

I am missing ways to prevent getting milled by your own spells. And Razaketh. Even in a budget deck, which i assume that this one is, this demon should find a place in there.

[@Illusionmaker_MTG]

I think it is pretty sad that there are not that many Sultai Generals. I can not make a video about any of the current ones do to the fact that they all are rather popular ^^'

[@D3M0NikChiLD]

Hey Jumbo, Can you do a deck tech of Omnath, Locus of Rage

[@JumboCommander]

Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpSUqmmGnZd5j7s

[@D3M0NikChiLD]

Jumbo Commander thanks, you're the best and you comment back to your community. Keep on keeping on!

[@JumboCommander]

I read everything. Sometimes I have more time to chat. These conversations are something I really value.

[@nickd6303]

I went a bit more in on instant and sorceries with dralnu in my build to utilize rise from the tides

[@JumboCommander]

Did you find your Sidisi trigger missing a lot?

[@nickd6303]

At 39 creatures I don't miss it to often but the flashback strategy is nice to fall back on when needed, theres enough filtering to get the triggers when I'd want them which helps if I need to mill gaea's blessing to respond to opposing grave hate(ulamog or kozliek are outside of my current budget). Have yet to update it with stuff from rivals.

[@thomasstevens7728]

Is this ment for 1v1 or ffa ive never been able to tell with your decks

[@JumboCommander]

Good question. All of my decks are really designed for multiplayer and you can mostly tell because of the curve. This one sits well above 3.5 CMC. This means it kinda does it's own thing and wins through value. To make this a 1v1 deck I would lower the curve, add more interaction, and include threats that have some amount of protection or added value (true-name, deathrite, vendillion clique, etc). This would make it more competitive but a lot depends on your meta.

I'm feeling about a Sidisi/Undergrowth/Surveil deck...

[@tylerferrell2364]

John V. Did this! Super fun, not overly powerful next to other pseudo-competitive commanders but the synergies were just worth it. Hopefully we can see a “return to Kamigawa” or “return to theros” soon. Or figure out what’s going on with koth on phyrexia

[@tomhiggart]

Would meren of clan nel toth not potentially work in the deck. Not for her ability to reanimate but more as a way to make your mills become a somewhat pseudo draw.

[@maddmaxxman]

I feel like this is missing a Splinterfright. Mill 2 every turn and power and toughness are equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard. It also has trample.

[@Ghaespar]

As a huge fan of Sidisi, this was nice to see :) There is really nice interaction here. I would suggest playing Gravespawn Sovereign and one of the grave shuffle Eldrazis. Here is a list I am currently playing tappedout.net/mtg-decks/10-02-18-sidisi-brood-tyrant-combo/ :D

[@jessicagalvin4598]

I built snake tribal with Sidisi just for kicks and giggles. I would have tried Kaseto, but I wanted the black mana for some of the token generators like Hapatra and Pharika (He's in the 99 though).

[@JumboCommander]

If you ever play against me. I'll consider Sidisi a snake ... BECAUSE OF ALL HER SERPENT FEATURES!

[@kornkobb420]

Sidisi is neither a male nor female actually. :P

[@peterdowd6055]

can u post the deckles Im the description

[@warder120]

can confirm: path of discovery is nuts in this deck.

[@JumboCommander]

Whoot, can't wait to go off with it.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Path of Discovery is such a sleeper card; players don't tend to remove it and it gives great value in creature heavy decks:P

[@Turkin4tor]

Couple comments. One, I disagree on the potency of altar of dementia. That card can potentially mill us anywhere from 2 to 20+ cards at each end step before your turn (doing things at instant speed is crucial, it's why I run vedalken orrery too). Plus it comboes with path of discovery, milling for 3 instead of 2. Next, I feel like you missed the huge combo potential. In combo with mesmeric orb run something that can tap and untap itself and bam, entire library into graveyard. Combo this with a reshuffler such as worldspine wurm and a laboratory maniac and you've got yourself a win condition.

[@pBIggZz]

Altar of Dementia is the filthiest combo piece you can put in the deck. Sac 1 zombie to mill two. If you are lucky you make two zombies and you can sac them to mill 4. Keep this going until you run out of creatures and all of your win cons should be in your graveyard for an instant win. Splendid reclamation or world shaper + lotus cobra + amulet of vigour into a torment of hailfire for 90.

[@pBIggZz]

Phenax + Lightning Greaves will do much the same thing. Tap down all your zombies to mill yourself and it keeps going until you run out of creatures to tap. If you do, switch to using altar to get a little further. You should be able to dig all your wins out of your library at once.
