Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai self-mill reanimator strategy led by Sidisi, Brood Tyrant. Its game plan focuses on stocking the graveyard with creature cards to generate a steady stream of 2/2 Zombie tokens. Early turns establish mana acceleration and incremental self-mill through cards like Deranged Assistant, Cache Grab, and Picklock Prankster. Once Sidisi enters on Turn 4, every attack trigger fuels the graveyard while expanding the token army. The mid-to-late game converts this resource accumulation into victory using potent mass reanimation spells like Patriarch's Bidding and Zombie Apocalypse, or through crushing aristocrat drain engines like Syr Konrad, the Grim, The Scarab God, and Mirkwood Bats. It also features asymmetric creature control with Grave Pact. The deck maintains strong resilience because the graveyard serves as an extension of the hand, allowing seamless recovery even if key permanents are removed.
