Luckily I pretty much just play with the same 3-4 people and the only other guy that brews frequently is way too much of a hipster to run the latest flavor of the month. I guess you just have to decide on what you want most out of the deck.Īnd yeah, EVERYONE is probably going to be running Muldrotha the next few months, so if you play in a LGS you're just going to be another Muldrotha player. With Sidisi you kind of rely on catch all green recursion (like ] to bring back anything but creatures.Īs I said, for my deck it was a no-brainer to go Muldrotha, but I can definitely still see the appeal for Sidisi. They are the easiest to recur, so you can't do as much enchantment/artifact/land nonsense as you can with Muldrotha. That being said, the downside is, creatures are going to be your core. This is a deck that run flash hulk and/or food chain the. That doesn't mean Muldrotha herself is strong (6 mana is a lot), but a good stuff Sultai deck is probably at least tier 2. you're guaranteed to start the mill-train on turn 4, so it seems like the deck starts a lot faster, even with bad hands. When your combo pieces are all threats or answers, you can trade cards with fast combo decks and generate virtual card advantage by drawing more effective cards. With Sidisi, it's very nice having that self-mill right in the command zone, you can use a bigger portion of your deck for recursion and graveyard shenanigans. The swap to Muldrotha is incredibly easy for me, because Muldrotha actually can help with the land theme. I'm sure you are running Eternal Witness already but I would be running ], ] and ] as well.I ran a Sidisi deck with a heavy 'land recycling' theme. Cards like ], ], ], etc are just too good and fit too well with what you want to do anyway (self-mill and recur) to not run. There aren't really good permanent replacements for cards like ] or ].

You should be packing a recursion package in your decklist that supports and compliments Muldrotha's ability while also making sure you can still use your graveyard as a second hand even if she isn't on the battlefield. So purposefully playing sub-optimal solutions purely because they are permanents rather than instant/sorcery is probably wrong way to do things. Knowing how powerful she is, people are going to hold up removal to make sure she stays off the table and in the command zone. Bottom line is Muldrotha is going to experience a lot of heat at the card table. Honestly, I think falling down the rabbit hole of only playing permanent solutions because you are banking your whole strategy on Muldrotha's ability is unwise.
