A 100% Eternalize Cycling deck. Built to cycle to your power cards asap via mainly 1c cycling creatures to trigger gate to the afterlife asap, and digging for it with trophy mage to get it out faster. bring back the cards you cycle as monsters and haste zombies, as well as re-use spells cast/cycled earlier in the game.
Early game, ignore Abandoned Sarcophagus. This WILL bone you.
You want to cycle out 1u or 1b cycling creatures as fast as possible to get 6 creatures in your graveyard. Since they all have cycling this also counts towards vile manifestation's power count.
If you don't draw gate to the afterlife, hope to pull a trophy mage and trophy for Gate to the Afterlife, tap 2 and sac it for a nice T5 God Pharaoh's Gift.
Hollow one is also particularly great in standard. If you are lucky enough to draw 3 or 4 of these bad boys and a blue mana or two, wow. If you draw Hollow one in your starting hand, the better strategy is to hold back 2 single cost cycles for T3, cycle twice and cast it for one. but if you have 3 land in play, 4 hollow ones, and 3 single cycle cards, you an legitimately drop 4 hollow ones T3.
Late game you want to drop abandoned Sarcophagus so you can recast more monster on top of eternalize, or have access to earlier cycled counter spells like Countervailing winds, which is impossible to pay for once you have 4+ cards cycled (which is like T2-3 usually).
This deck has great power early game, lots of choice, massive power late game, and a good amount of counter. Overall the toolbox feel is great for this deck so far and I'm loving it. Honestly has to be the most fun deck I have brewed in a long time.
