Gift of Doom is cute and although morph doesn't go to the stack, attaching the aura to Sidisi does; so it can be responded to.

Guess again

Indeed, Kangodo is correct. You have to have priority, of course, but morph doesn't use the stack and this card's attachment "As this is turned face up..." is a replacement effect.

702.36e
Any time you have priority, you may turn a face-down permanent you control with a morph ability face up. This is a special action; it doesn’t use the stack (see rule 116). To do this, show all players what the permanent’s morph cost would be if it were face up, pay that cost, then turn the permanent face up. (If the permanent wouldn’t have a morph cost if it were face up, it can’t be turned face up this way.) The morph effect on it ends, and it regains its normal characteristics. Any abilities relating to the permanent entering the battlefield don’t trigger when it’s turned face up and don’t have any effect, because the permanent has already entered the battlefield.

614.1e
Effects that read “As [this permanent] is turned face up . . . ,” are replacement effects.

I think you missed some cards.

Bloodthirsty Blade is a good pseudo-removal that fits in every deck. Just imagine how you'd feel if someone used it on Sidisi herself.
Forcing utility generals to attack (unless they can tap) removes them from the game and aggressive commanders also cannot attack you.

Gift of Doom could be played in T3 without acceleration. In T4 you'd play Sidisi, and you can just let it sit until they cast removal. At that point you sacrifise one of your zombies and make her indestructible.

Idol of Oblivion is basically a 2 mana artifact that draws you cards every single turn.

Road of Return seems really good because it both serves as a semi-Eternal Witness and it returns Sidisi back to my hand when she gets killed for the fifth time.

I am not saying they are auto-includes, but some of them definitely require some attention. Especially Gift of Doom and Idol of Oblivion seem quite interesting.

• Full Flowering - This card seems overpowered but I don't believe it is. Cards like Second Harvest doubles all your tokens - not just creature tokens like populate does - and only costs 2GG. If I had 1 or 3 or 100 tokens, I just pay 2GG for Second Harvest and I get 1 or 3 or 100 more. If I wanted 10 Zombie tokens with Full Flowering I would have to pay 1010G
• Ohran Frostfang - A combination of half of Bident of Thassa and half of Bow of Nylea all on a body. The key word in that entire sentence was "body". I don't run Coastal Piracy because it's not a creature; I also don't run Edric, Spymaster of Trest because it benefits other opponents who don't attack me. However, this isn't the case with Ohran Frostfang. It has all the pros and none of the cons. Definitely worth considering for the deck.
• Volrath, the Shapestealer - I always loved the lore of the Weatherlight saga back in the day and how finally the war between Urza and Yawgmoth came to an end. And even though Volrath already has a card, this one's pretty amazing. I don't know if it'll find a slot in the deck, but I'm just glad that every single BUG legendary is so different that they don't really go together (the only exception being Muldrotha, the Gravetide that goes great in every deck sporting those colors). Being able to copy any creature in play is no joke though and it still has the possibility of being versatile. That being said, this deck is cursed with being so fine-tuned that it's near impossible to fit new cards in unless they're strictly better than any card already in the deck.
• Idol of Oblivion - Almost always guaranteed to draw me a card any turn for just 2. Definitely worth considering.

• Sanctum of Eternity - Great way to reset monstrosity. It's a Temur Sabertooth effect on a land, which is great since it doesn't really take up a slot in the deck.
• Empowered Autogenerator - With Seedborn Muse in play I could potentially be adding a counter on this every turn. It'll definitely produce quite a lot of mana. Definitely worth testing.

• Mire in Misery - Definitely going in. It only costs 2 and it only hits opponents. It can also make sure they sacrifice an enchantment in case they've already lost their creatures.

I realy like your take on this commander. Maybe use knight of the reliquary and ramunap excavator?

I am brewing with the same commander but wanted to add more landfall triggers so I thought: maybe using kynaios and tiro to get acces to red. That gives acces to some great additions like nesting dragon and omnath, locus of rage. Combined with god eternal oketra and parallel lives you have a token theme going on. With tatyova and chulane and all other draw spells, it shouldn't be that hard to get chulane on the field (maybe using wargate next to shared summons). it could be a sweet deck but I am struggling a bit and since I am am a long time reader of your Sidisi threat I figured you might give of your thoughts?

Those are definitely some interesting ideas. I'm not adding the fast mana rocks because they are so expensive price wise, but I just had them in the list so I don't forget. My goal of making it more consistent was not to make it unbeatable. Obviously it still pretty much folds to a board wipe. I'm just trying to smooth draws and add some more answers so it's not helpless.

I was mainly hoping to get some advice on what cards you think I could cut to make room for the new ones. I listed some cards that sometime seem slow but other times are all stars so I'm really not sure.
