I've wanted to play bug for a long time, but wanted to try something different from the Mimeoplasm so I went with Sidisi. Although maybe not Tier 1, the deck can really push the limits. I've had great success with cards like Mulch, Victimize, Buried Alive, Mirror-Mad Phantsm, Vengeful Pharoh, Fact or Fiction and Hermit Druid. But one of the best cards I could ever suggest for Sidisi is Mesmeric Orb. Each untap of a permanent grants you a mill meaning each one of them would be a SEPERATE trigger for Sidisi netting you a ton of zombies. At the same time, your opponents are also milling there own pants off which gets some players quite frustrated ;-) One thing I feel like you are really missing out on is shuffling your graveyard back into your library, or the "Recycle Effect". The biggest thing I've found with Sidisi, is if you really want to play to her strengths you have to focus less on filling the graveyard and working out of it (Mimeoplasm decks). You care more about that repeated action of milling creatures while Sidisi is present. Cards like Gaea's Blessing are so perfect for this role and although not very budget friendly, so are the Eldrazi titans Kozilek and Ulamog. The hardest thing about that is BUG lends itself so well to playing out of the graveyard so its tempting, in the end its all about striking the right balance between the two. One last note if you are not opposed to making infinite zombies or have a cutthroat playgroup...With Sidisi in play:Mesmeric Orb + Basalt Monolith = Infinite Zombies ( Monolith taps to feed 3 back into untapping it repeatedly)Mesmeric Orb + Aphetto Alchemist or Seeker of Skybreak = Infinte Zombies ( creature taps to untap itself repeatedly)Cephalid Illusionist + Lightning Greaves = Infinite Zombies ( Keep equipping boots back and forth between illusionist and zombies)As soon as one of your "Recycle" Effects hits the graveyard, you're free to continuously mill your library at will. As always, be ready for gravehate and pack a little of your own. Best of luck on your journey.

Cool concept, I myself love treefolk and am a huge fan of Doran, the Siege Tower. My only suggestion is adding 2 Woodfall Primus to the deck. They are good old fashion permanent removal, are treefolk, and are considerably cheap after getting a MM reprint fitting into your budget. He can be fetched out with Harbinger, made cheaper with the Banneret, and Prey upon can be fantastic with persist. Other than that looks great... keep blazin!!!
Good suggestion. Just trying out Godsend as a placeholder at the moment.
Its cool lol. Well I would say the deck's focus is to use milling as a weapon to fuel Lazav or many of the other cards in the deck. The intention isn't to deck your oponents, just to utilize they're graveyards as much as possible.
Have you ever heard of EDH or Commander format?
Thanks man, was trying to figure out how to change the deck type.
