Sidisi, Regent of the Mire

Gameplan

Sidisi turns your graveyard into an upgrade engine: sacrifice a small creature to reanimate one a mana value higher, then sacrifice that to climb to even bigger threats. You self-mill or discard fatties, deploy cheap fodder, and use the tap ability each turn to ladder up into game-ending bombs while generating death/ETB value along the way. Close games by chaining into a massive payoff that takes over the board.

Key Cards

• Gravecrawler — Recurring one-drop fodder you can resacrifice every turn to fuel the reanimation ladder.
• Bloodghast — Free, repeatable sac fodder that returns whenever a land enters, perfectly feeding Sidisi.
• Buried Alive — Stacks your graveyard with the exact creatures you want to ladder into.
• Razaketh, the Foulblooded — A top-of-the-ladder payoff whose tutoring locks up games once reanimated.
• Grave Pact — Turns your constant sacrificing into board-wide removal and an aristocrats engine.
• Bolas's Citadel — Pays off the graveyard/life theme and helps you flood the board with fodder and threats.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana and rituals (Dark Ritual, Cabal Coffers, Nykthos) to deploy Sidisi early and protect her with Swiftfoot Boots. Tighten the reanimation ladder with recursive fodder (Gravecrawler, Reassembling Skeleton) and high-impact targets at each mana value so every activation matters, then layer in aristocrats payoffs and tutors (Demonic/Vampiric Tutor, Entomb) to assemble a deterministic loop or combo finish.
