Not sure if I'm missing something, but why Butcher's Cleaver ? I mean, I get the lifelink and all, but the Cyclops acts as a good blocker as well where a Cleaver costs 6 to effectively add 3 power and lifelink (I don't care much about my life total). As to the Cyclonic Rift , that one extra mana in the cost means it drops a turn later and it can't bounce my own creatures. The Overload is great, but if I'm at 7 mana I better be on the cusp of winning, which turns Rift into a win more card which is pointless in competitive play, or I'm losing badly and slowly bleeding out in which case the game is probably a foregone conclusion and I'm only prolonging it by maybe a turn or 2.
