MTG Salvation

• Return of the Wildspeaker - Considering how huge PK can get, this card is definitely worth including. For instant speed we're able to draw a ton of cards at the end of the turn before ours.
• Steelbane Hydra - With all the mana the deck produces this can enter the battlefield pretty huge. Additionally, it can have enough +1/+1 counters on it in order to snipe any problematic artifacts or enchantments.
• The Great Henge - With just Polukranos out, this costs 2GG. However, if PK had any +1/+1 counters on it, then it'll more than likely just cost GG. Not only is this a mana rock, but it gains us 2 life also when tapping for that mana. The best part is that when a nontoken creature enters the battlefield, it gets a +1/+1 counter and we draw a card. Definitely worth considering.
• Witch's Oven - It costs no mana to activate and only 1 to cast. Not only could it be a reliable way to sacrifice Polukranos for the recasting, but it'll give you 2 food tokens everytime you do.

• Chittering Witch - For just 4 mana she's potentially 4 bodies. She also has a sacrifice that can potentially get rid of creatures. Unfortunately, it's not a free sacrifice outlet which is ultimately the deal breaker.
• Taste of Death - A bit overcosted at 6 mana, it's essentially 3 Innocent Blood stapled onto the same sorcery. It does have the benefit of giving us 3 food tokens, which are tokens with a built-in sacrifice ability. Even considering the steep cost it's a card I would consider since it would provide me with the potential for 15 sacrifice triggers (up to 12 creatures being sacrificed and then 3 food that can be sacrificed afterwards).
• The Cauldron of Eternity - Since the deck does sacrifice a bunch of creatures, it's very probable that this spell will cost BB most of the time. Then, when our creatures die, they just go to the bottom of the library. But, what's important for this deck is its reanimation ability. This allows use to reanimate any creatures from our graveyard before it entered the battlefield.
• Steelbane Hydra - With all the +1/+1 counters going around, it's nice to know that this creature will always be able to destroy any pesky artifacts or enchantments on the battlefield - or any mana rocks opponents might have.
• Witch's Oven - It costs no mana to activate and only 1 to cast. It might be useful as a sacrifice outlet since sacrificing a large enough creature can get you 2 food tokens.

• Emry, Lurker of the Loch - Although the deck doesn't run too many artifacts, Emry can mill four of our cards at a cost between 1-3 mana. She can also tap in order for use to cast an artifact from our graveyard until end of turn. Since I've managed to continue reducing the number of noncreature cards in the deck, the amount of artifacts will definitely diminish. It's hard enough as it is looking for space in the deck to put in a card that will eventually be taken out. That being said, Emry is an amazing card - just not here.
• Ayara, First of Locthwain - Definitely worth considering for the deck! Although her BBB is hard on a tricolored deck, her abilties more than make up for it. With sufficient zombie tokens entering the battlefield, we can kill all opponents without needing to turn sideways.
• Murderous Rider - Hero's Downfall on a creature is exactly the kind of thing this deck wants. As a bonus, it can be cast from its adventure for just 1BB as 2/3 zombie with deathtouch that goes back to the bottom of the library when it dies. 100% going in this deck.
• Syr Konrad, the Grim - Another amazing card for the deck. Everytime we mill ourselves or one of our creatures die, we get to deal 1 damage to each opponent. This is something that happens quite often in the deck and that damage definitely adds up. He's a bit costly at 5 mana but he's a 5/4 so he more than makes up for it. On top of that, he can mill everyone for 1 for just 1B.
• The Cauldron of Eternity - Although I'm trying to reduce the amount of noncreature spells in the deck, this artifact is very good here. Considering the deck is a self-mill deck, more than likely it'll cost just BB. When our creatures die, they go to the bottom of the library. The, for just 2B, T, and paying 2 life we get to reanimate any creature from our graveyard at sorcery speed. Definitely worth considering for the deck.
• Steelbane Hydra - With all the mana the deck produces this can definitely be cast with a healthy value of X. It can then be used as removal for any unwanted artifacts or enchantments on the battlefield. And, if it runs out, it can just be recast from the graveyard later one.

Would creatures with deathtouch kill Polukranos when he uses his monstrous ability?

Quote from Zero_Origin720 »

What are people's opinions on Sakashima the Impostor and Spark Double? I very rarely see them in Sidisi lists and in my experience they are extremely powerful since they get around the legend rule. Having one Sidisi is great, having 2-3 gets insane quickly. Granted, having multiple copies of Sidisi is redundant in those instances when you have the pieces to generate infinite mill, but any other time (or for any builds not going the infinite mill route) they are both amazing.

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.
