This is my attempt to see what I can do with cycling in standard, building off the Hareruya Wayfinder design. I found that Esper gave me the best options for both the mainboard and sideboard. Essentially the idea is to play control, while getting extra value off your cycling cards with Drake Haven, and possibly Faith of the Devoted (against other control builds). Eventually the deck will win with its drakes, or even just with the big cycling flyers like Curator of Mysteries and Archfiend of Ifnir. Archfiend especially can be a beating when you get to cycling with him on the board.
