Exploit (When this creature enters, you may sacrifice a creature.)
When Sidisi exploits a creature, you may search your library for a card, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
Picked for what they do in Sidisi's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Sidisi's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.Open the full glossary

Wizards of the Coast25 Feb 2015
A creature with exploit "exploits a creature" when the controller of the exploit ability sacrifices a creature as that ability resolves.
Wizards of the Coast25 Feb 2015
If the creature with exploit isn't on the battlefield as the exploit ability resolves, you won't get any bonus from the creature with exploit, even if you sacrifice a creature. Because the creature with exploit isn't on the battlefield, its other triggered ability won't trigger.
Wizards of the Coast25 Feb 2015
You can sacrifice the creature with exploit if it's still on the battlefield. This will cause its other ability to trigger.
Wizards of the Coast25 Feb 2015
You can't sacrifice more than one creature to any one exploit ability.

You choose whether to sacrifice a creature and which creature to sacrifice as the exploit ability resolves.
Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryBPlayers write colors as letters: B for black.AristocratsAristocrats decks sacrifice their own creatures on purpose and profit every time one dies, often by draining life from each opponent.
