The deck needs probably more focus, but I like how it plays, there's multiple lines to take to lead to combos or victories.

Milling

The primary aspect of the deck is milling yourself. Either at the upkeep, dredge, one big time, or with the commander, we want to mill the deck to have access to our combo pieces or to activate some of our win condition. Also, with Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, we probably get a 2/2 zombie token everytime we mill 2 cards or more, cause there's around 40 creatures in the deck.

Dredge cards : Dakmor Salvage, Golgari Thug, Golgari Grave-Troll, Stinkweed Imp

Other mill cards : Altar of Dementia, Deranged Assistant, Hermit Druid, Millikin, Nyx Weaver, Satyr Wayfinder, Stitcher's Supplier, Underrealm Lich

Some "reanimator" or get cards back to hand : Acolyte of Affliction, Body Snatcher, Eternal Witness, Hell's Caretaker, Muldrotha, the Gravetide, The Eldest Reborn

Combo

One of the main combo in the deck is with Necrotic Ooze. While you mill yourself out, you can reanimate the Ooze with Dread Return (Sidisi get's you enough token to do that) and give it haste with a Thornling in the graveyard. This way, you can now use Devoted Druid / Quillspike to get / and trample (with the Thornling). Karametra's Acolyte can make this combo make infinite .

So, this combo can take care of 1 person by combat damage, you can use Altar of Dementia to mill another player out, get infinite 1/1 saproling with Sprout Swarm to defend till next turn. It's not instant win, but it's close enough.

High synergistic cards

Hedron Crab : Good interraction with fetchlands or panorama, is AMAZING with World Shaper. Can fill your graveyard really fast.

Haunted Crossroads : Can get a creature back on top of your deck everytime you're about to mill, giving you another Zombie token with Sidisi.

Path of Discovery : When a creature (including the zombie tokens!) etb, explore! that explore let you mill a creature if it's what's on top of your library... which gets you another token, so another explore. Combine with the Crossroads, you can pay to get a zombie token.

Extractor Demon : If you get a sac outlet, you can sac a zombi token, mill 2 and get another zombie if you mill a creature. Also, you can unearth it for during a go off turn!

Token aspect

This strategy can hit hard. We can generate lot's of zombie token, but also worms (Worm Harvest) and saprolings (Sprout Swarm). Those tokens can gets keywords or other advantages when attacking : Wonder, Coat of Arms, Dreadhorde Invasion, Champion of Lambholt, Gleaming Overseer, Ohran Frostfang, Vizier of the Scorpion.

Having lot's of tokens can unlock the real power of some cards. Dictate of Erebos, Fecundity, Syr Konrad, the Grim, Fallen Ideal, Nullmage Shepherd, Symbiotic Deployment and Torgaar, Famine Incarnate are amazing when you gets lots of token. If you can get infinite of them and a sac outlet : Konrad make you win, Altar of Dementia as well, etc.

Other win con of this deck, outside the combo or attacking strategy are with Mortal Combat or Laboratory Maniac. I like LabMan with Hell's Caretaker to get it back at the upkeep before your draw. Also, if someone kill labman before you draw, I would just choose to dredge and avoiding the drawing cards.

So that's the deck. I still need to work on it, but I like how it looks so far and it's fun to pilot. Has big splashing turns, lots of milling and often on the verge to die cause you got no cards in there. It's really interresting to play!
