Deck Description

cycling deck built around astral slide and full of cards to abuse with it. other poster childs for this deck are faith of the devoted and drake haven. zur is basically only here to tutor for those 3 cards, once you have all 3 in play just use him to get removal or card draw if you need it, but it's not necessary.

How to Play

disclaimer: i don't run any of the bad cycling cards (i.e. jhessian zombies, sanctum plowbeast, etc). the reason for this is that i would only ever use them to cycle, and i want my cyclers to have other uses as well.

the goal of this deck is to achieve maximum value with astral slide & friends. doing this is simple, all you need is one card to repeatedly flicker with astral slide and some cyclers to keep your engine going. if you have faith of the devoted and/or drake haven, it gets even better. bonus points if you have copy enchantment on astral slide and a second value creature; if you can get all of these out within the first 10 or so turns without any of your pieces being removed, you're in a pretty good shape to win.

i have been having problems with closing out the game once i've had my engine going for a few turns, so i added some new win conditions. gray merchant of asphodel is great, especially if you have panharmonicon. approach of the second sun is a backup and laboratory maniac is for super-grindy games. another wincon i added is magister sphinx, which i figure can kill quite quickly with faith of the devoted out.

note on new perspectives: i considered cutting it because it's often a dead card and doesn't really do anything until you're so far ahead you can't really lose, but as i said before i've been having significant trouble winning the game even with my engine out, so i figured using new perspectives to basically draw your whole deck to find labman wasn't too bad of an idea.
