I got tired of playing my only remaining control deck, Damia, Sage of Stone, but I liked the deck, so I decided to adapt a more creature- and aggro-oriented style for the color combination and arrived at Sidisi. She's a little overdone, but truthfully, I really enjoy her. You can play her as a combo deck or a control deck and use her as a finisher, but I really do like the idea of what she does.
I don't, however, like Mesmeric Orb. Please don't suggest it, thanks.
How does one play this deck?
Pretty typically. It has elements of aggro by utilizing powerful value creatures, control by means of really low-power utility dorks, and combo with reanimator spells. Your goal in the early stages of the game is to cast Sidisi and use her and her tokens to continuously attack. In the midgame, you can find your graveyard full of spells and creatures you can access. Lategame, your plan is to typically maintain a board state with Living Death or Victimize with Eternal Witness.
Dragons of Tarkir gave Sidisi...Sidisi? It's odd how that worked out. Sidisi can just fodder one of her original's Zombies to become a big-butt Demonic Tutor, which is really strong. Profaner of the Dead has some really interesting synergy with Sidisi's Zombies as well as Living Death, so I quite enjoy the possibilities and wanted to see if he was worth a slot. Time will tell.

Adjusting the manabase to support Life From the Loam and Burgeoning better. Trying to get the maximum value out of the good cards I'm playing here.
