It is an interesting topic.
It's probably made it's way the hot pages.

I'm south parking you !!!
Did you know that Kenny the eskimo is a representation of Kennedy.
So everytime they say "oh my god, they killed kenny" it's a salute to Kennedy?
Also is it me or does Kennedy sound too close to Canada;)

blame canada.
They have alien babies, trained to say "don't kick the baby"
I mean what kind of babies say that unless they are alien.
Canon may die, but la resistance lives on...

And then you get pawned by Danish villa owners :D
You'd be much better of as a burglar with some it skills.
There are databases describing every neighbourhood in insane details.
You'd be in a position to plan out everything, and the odds of getting caught is 3%
But only if you do it in a stupid way.

Competitive or kitchen ?

You went overboard on mutate :)
You told me you'd probably use migratory greathorn as the only mutate card.

29 lands is a bunch, will you adjust with ramp later ?

We have homeless, half of which looks like trash.
In some areas rich people collect plastic bottles to reduce the number of Romanian collectors. It's funny.

Yeah, a powered up cyclopean could be interesting to see ;)
Some of the eldrazi cards might be able to abuse it.

You really don't visualise it's effect ?
It's one of my favorite rogue topics over time, and lots of other people have admitted in the past that they'd like a cyclopean cycle of cards as well.

You realise that if you find it, I'm likely to improve on it with cyclopean mummy ;)

(I never expected to say that sentence in my lifetime)

True, and by knowing that, you base the design on that so it becomes an advantage. Do you know any other decktype that increases its control over time ? (Short of stream of thought) ;)

That implies that you got a choice at what gets reshuffled, but that choice is rarely there.

We could easily test out the concept, find an aggro/control deck where cards already get reshuffled, and I'll improve the deck using only cyclopean mummies, by cutting cards away.
We'd also need a deck to beat that the original aggro/control deck can't beat traditionally.

I'm game...

Any candidate decks ? For an easy transition the deck would need to have some black cards in it.

At first the deck is filled with equal amounts of aggro and control and there would be a certain number of cards that reshuffled cards from the grave into the library, then as battle and removal from the opponent would remove fallen mummies from the deck, more and more control would get reshuffled. The need for threats at that stage would likely be gone, but a few mummies would be drawn, but less and less frequent as everything else would be continuously reshuffled.

I'm pretty sure I could build an aggro first control later monstrosity

I remember the first affinity designs, back when frogmite, myr enforcer, disciple of the vault were played, and spheres and stars and thought cast provided the draw. Sure, everyone used the artifact lands, but when they got banned, the deck took on other directions until the ban of the opal. Has anyone tried to revert back to the older lore of affinity. I know there's a pauper version with an infinite combo somewhere.

I'd personally love a cycle of cyclopean cards that exiled themselves. These days there are also cards that exploit the exile zone, but I'd still try out a deck full of cyclopean mummies if it was legal.
Hey, maybe that's a new format ?

Modern with any amount of cyclopean mummy you want to use :)

Time to make my entry.
Cyclopean mummy is the most underrated card of them all.
Back when it was made nobody understood it's mechanic.
When put in a deck with reshuffling effects it applies early pressure and stays out of the way lategame.
To really appreciate the mechanic you have to think about what would have happened if they had printed multiple black creatures with the same mechanic, then it reveals what it's for.

Back then it didn't get used in any decks, so the mechanic got scrapped.

Cyclopean mummy is still on the pages of worst cards ever printed.
Now you know the truth...

Lyra/reya probably happened because of auto correct on a smartphone

If you haven't given up on the card,
Confounding conundrum is being used with panharmonicon this week in mtggoldfish.

I think that's a clever idea, most will have direct artifact hatred or removal to deal with ravager and overseer, so this would sneak past most hatred. I'm testing ensnaring bridge at the moment and three cards can cross the bridge, signal pest, ornithopter and noble hierarch, and they can sneak damage through by ravager and overseer, which is why I pack engineered explosives in main. Township would get past my current defences, though it's a onetime boost to the creature it still does the job over time.
