This deck is somewhat thematic and somewhat budget. I don't normally tag my decks as competitive, but this is less competitive. It was born out of the idea, "Hey, would Tracker's Instincts be good enough if it also gave you a 2/2?"
Win conditions are
1) Laboratory Maniac reanimated after we mill our whole deck (through totally legitimate means) followed by Think Twice (actually, assuming sorcery speed, it's better to win with Deep Analysis with Think Twice backup).
2) Tombstone Stairwell after dumping most of our deck in the graveyard. We get like, 25 zombies, you get like, 10? Sweet. Plus, people tend to hit each other with zombies considering we have all the blockers.
3) Altar of Dementia milling the table (after it mills us, of course).
4) Villainous Weath.
I'm paying some bad CIPT lands because this is not the deck I'm getting duals or filters for and I want to keep the nonbasic count high (though not comboriffically high) for Hermit Druid.
Memory's Journey is the stone cold nuts and if you ever make a deck like this, include it. It's the best way to not auto-die if Lab Man gets interrupted in the middle of things.
I can see lots of room for cuts just putting this list on paper. Putrefy could be something better. The Fleshbag Marauder variants could be something better (Bone Shredder, Big Game Hunter, and Nekrataal most likely). There's probably a better value engine than Reaper of the wilds (but then I'd also like something to take its place at CMC 4 on the Pod chain). I don't like Bloodgift Demon compared to ETB effects, because how else do you play Magic? Sultai Soothsayer is obviously bad but it's so on-theme I hate to cut it. At this point I want to cut creatures for creatures and non-creatures for non-creatures just to keep the count high, so keep that in mind.
So yeah. Any suggestions of awesome ***** are appreciated. The deck is objectively bad but pretty fun to whip out every now and again in my more casual meta when people are getting sick of other things.
I like winning with self-mill via Laboratory Maniac. If you want to build your deck around this win, be careful as it's a bit obvious in a Sidisi deck. If you want to look at a casual list that's not as menacing, follow my sig. I go into great detail of a casual build with Sidisi. If you're curious as to a more competitive build, you can also continue reading the OP.
