I guess my mechanic of choice for this rotation is Cycling. I tried building a New Perspectives variant of the deck, previously. That build would try to win with Approach. That never quite gelled with the runaway cycling that NP provides.

I'm taking this build from SaffronOlive. The key changes:

• use Faith of the Devoted as the wincon. Once NP comes in, it's a very fast drain of the opponent. That is, if the opposing deck has very little life-gain.

• add more basic lands, to maximize Shefet Monitor's land tutor on cycling.

I do like the inclusion of Mastermind's Acquisition. That provides SB access on G1, which is relevant. If I find the main plan isn't working, wish for Approach.

I will say, this deck is a bit of a glass cannon: very powerful main wincon, but it can be severely crippled (with Lost Legacy)
