If there's enough interest/discussion/theorycrafting around it that transient chat discussion is worthwile, then it might be worth it. darrenhabib has a discord server for Prime Speaker Vannifar, and Sidisi is popular enough in many different builds it might be worth a server dedicated to the commander. I'm on a few for Elite: Dangerous and even admin one, and the reason I mention framing it around the commander rather than just your particular builds (though if it's your server they can certainly be put on a pedestal) is that it helps if the "topic" of the server isn't too narrow. For example, I probably wouldn't create a server dedicated to Chainer because dedicating it to MBC seems more appropriate.
And it's not all transient information. You can make read-only channels for FAQ, you can pin messages so concise bits of information are easy to access in the channel where that message exists. Makes a poor wiki, though. Might be worth checking out the Vannifar server to see how it's structured.

That actually sounds pretty neat. darrenhabib's primers are all excellent so it'd be interesting to see how he presents them in other mediums. Would you mind giving me the link to it so that I may see it?

Yeah, I read the announcement. Well, I'll at least be able to maintain my primers and the threads that I have spruced up as such. But I'll also see where everyone is moving towards (MTGNexus, I believe?) and sign up there, as well. Depending on how it goes I might spend most of my efforts over there.

Funny story...my girlfriend texted me from work and asked if I've seen the spoiler for Corpse Knight, I said yea and she replied "Thank God it's white and can't go in your Sidisi".

Loaming Shaman is great because in a more budget version you're seemingly self-milling and dredging with total abandon because the more expensive cards that do quality control over the graveyard are more expensive. But at least with Loaming Shaman you can either hardcast it or reanimate it to recover your lands. The only reason I don't run it in the Main Build is because I prefer World Shaper; it's a mini-Sidisi with a death-triggered Splendid Reclamation.

World Shaper is definitely better. My son's friend is trying to build a budget Sidisi and I'm going to send him the link to your primer. (he likes my build but can't afford some of the pricier cards SOTF, Cradle, Intuition, etc.).
Ooh, Field of the Dead is very interesting... I don't see its use as actually playing lands until you reach 7 (each land in the deck has a different name which is a plus) but I do see it being epic when lands are cheated into play thanks to World Shaper. If something were cut for it, it'd have to be another land that taps for . The only thing that's iffy for me about it besides tapping for is that it enters the battlefield tapped. A land like Opulent Palace comes into play tapped but it can provide any of the colors needed for the deck. The only other land that enters the battlefield tapped is Tolaria West, but that's more because I can tutor for a land while also being able to recur it. Even then, although it enters the battlefield tapped, it still provides colored mana.

Cavalier of Gales - Uncomfortable to cast but has a Brainstorm ability when it enters the battlefield and it shuffles itself when it dies while also scrying 2.
Embodiment of Agonies - Just wanted to mention that this creature is huge in this deck for a mere 1BB but it's not worth a slot. If it's inexpensive it can definitely go in the Budget Build.
Legion's End - Great against token decks. I don't know if it'll fit here or not, though.
Thought Distortion - Great against decks that draw a ton of cards. However, it's a bit narrow for the deck.
Cavalier of Thorns - Uncomfortable to cast but all of its abilities and body is relevant. It self-mills and in a pinch could be used to topdeck a creature card from the graveyard. If it becomes a crap-rare it's definitely going in the Budget Build.
Shared Summons - End of turn tutor for a 2-creature combo? Definitely worth testing!
Yarok, the Desecrated - If the deck ran more cards with enter the battlefield triggers this would've definitely been considered for the deck.
Icon of Ancestry - Useful for the Zombie Build to try and get those zombies in your hand. Unfortunately it's not a creature and it doesn't self-mill; it bottomdecks the cards.
Field of the Dead - Although it creates zombie tokens with a landfall ability, there's too many hoops to jump through (it also only provides and enters the battlefield tapped).

You know what's funny? That in the OP you said "you might like Sidisi if you don't want this deck to depend too much on your commander", but I'm now considering her for the opposite reason: I have a full-on dredge deck that focuses entirely on self-milling and then reanimating a pair of creatures that can form an infinite combo (Mike+Trike, for example), and since it is a Golgari deck, I'm using Izoni as the commander... But while she's great for exploding once a combo is set in place, until then all she's doing is sitting in the command zone looking pretty. I'm not always going to draw a card capable of putting a dredger in my graveyard, so I wanted a commander capable of starting the self-milling chains, and Sidisi seems perfect for that with her effect.
So yeah, I'm currently in the process of expanding from Golgari to Sultai, the first important test coming up tomorrow (the hardest part, as usual, is fixing the mana base accordingly): as soon as I've locked a list I'm comfortable with, I'll post it here. I'd love to get your advice and feedback

I'm a bit surprised it's black/white but not that surprised. If it was a mixture between Soul Warden and Suture Priest, both which are white.

I like Yarok but I'm not sure I run enough ETB effects for it to be worth it, though that with Path of Discovery could be absolutely nuts.

Maybe I'll cut Expedition Map for him.
Yeah, I’m considering that swap as well. A creature in favor of a noncreature is always favorable in this deck.

I'm still holding out hope for a Sultai planeswalker at some point that will really fit the direction of this deck.
