There aren't that many relevant Zombie cards. Diregraf Ghoul is a super one drop, as is Sarcomancy. Graveborn Muse is a Phyrexian Arena + 3/3, which I will defend to the death. Curse of Shallow Graves is good. Liliana the flip 'walker makes one. Grave Titan makes Zombies, but not in the same deck.
Overall I don't think the type's worth too much for a creature, but if you think Sidisi makes it in on its own merits, then it's a nice bonus.
I rarely ever wanted them in the same deck anyways. Despite having synergy together, 5-mana 4-power creatures aren't what my aggro decks are in the market for.
Agreed on Sidisi's Zombie-ness. She's pretty much a house in my cube (it would appear, anyway, given Small Sample Size Theatre so far), but if you're relying on the ability to ride the fact she's a Zombie, she becomes a two-card combo with something like Lord of the Undead or Unholy Grotto. At that point, you should be sitting back and enjoying the tutor and the 4/6 deathtouching body, I suspect.
Sidisi has been decent but not amazing. When you can sac gravecrawler to him, you feel like a stud. But there are times he comes down and is just a 4/6 deathtouch for 5. Which is... fine I guess but not what I want out of a 5 drop (unless you are insanely desperate I cannot see paying 5, sacing this guy for his tutor effect - unless you are getting him in the yard intentionally).
I'll likely keep him around simply because I have a slot to fill, but he is by no means a lock.
I'm cooling on Sidisi as well. I haven't ever wanted to run her without blue power or an infinite combo in the deck.. (She can occasionally be very good in those cases with creatures to sac) Bit more narrow than I was hoping.
Still a fine card, but on the cusp of exiting my cube
I've never have been sold her either. She's been test once and really underperform that time, so we just ultimatly cut it for good. Waiting for the black bad ass priest right now to go along with Shriekmaw!
I've never been high on her; she was just the best of bad options. And now that we have a replacement option that's actually good, she's definitely out.
Overall I don't think the type's worth too much for a creature, but if you think Sidisi makes it in on its own merits, then it's a nice bonus.
