Cycle cycle cycle. Built around using the cycling mechanic to generate value and dig up win cons. Running 36 cycle cards so with just a little help one can cycle for days.

Get the engine going by generating extra draws every time we cycle with Rielle, the Everwise, Ephara, God of the Polis, Teferi's Ageless Insight, and Alhammarret's Archive. Leans a little bit into Astral Slide, Astral Drift, Escape Protocol for protecting our board from removal, clearing the way for attacks, or ETBing some of our own creatures for effects. Fun ETBs include Cavalier of Gales and Cavalier of Flame to keep that draw engine going, Cavalier of Dawn for removal, and Warden of the Eye to keep grabbing cyclers.

Close out the game with a combination of generating lots of additional tokens off of Valiant Rescuer, Mad Ratter, Improbable Alliance, and The Locust God (upgrade them with Divine Visitation) and pinging the table down while cycling with Drannith Stinger, Glint-Horn Buccaneer, Brallin, Skyshark Rider  , Impact Tremors, Purphoros, God of the Forge, and Psychosis Crawler. Take the shackles off with New Perspectives.
