This deck started off as a Wrexial, the Risen Deep deck, my first deck ever and one with very little direction. As with many first time EDH decks, it was poorly constructed. In an attempt to fix its many, many problems, I gave the deck a mill and clones theme with Lazav, Dimir Mastermind as the general. In that iteration, it actually performed quite well, and has been one of my favourite decks to play.
Hungering for a change, I decided to splash in some green. Not wanting yet another Mimeoplasm, I decided to try out Sidisi. It's not as heavily focused on self-mill as other Sidisi decks are, rather using her as an added bonus to some of the self-mill naturally present in mill decks (e.g. Dreamborn Muse, Mesmeric Orb).
Nice list, I've always been partial to mill decks. Have you thought about Grave Titan for zombies and a big body and/or Liliana Vess for tutoring and recursion?
Yes and yes! Grave Titan especially is a fantastic inclusion to almost any black deck. Not particularly sure what I would want to part with for either of them though.
Royal Assassin for Grave Titan and perhaps Stolen Identity, Cackling Counterpart, or The Mimeoplasm for Liliana Vess. I feel like Cackling Counterpart is pretty weak, but if you take it out it might mess up your curve so perhaps Stolen Identity as it's higher cost, or maybe Mimeoplasm but I don't know how well it performs in the deck. In general they all seem like clone effects when fetching one of your cards could be just as useful or more useful with Liliana, although I haven't played the deck so in the end it's your call on what you think would work best.
