Key cards so far look like New Perspectives to make it free then cards that care about cycling. So Faith of the Devoted looks good. Pitiless Vizier makes for good removal, Shadowstorm Vizier looks solid for it, and Archfiend of Ifnir. Drake Haven in that setup wouldn't be bad either.

Ha, seems like New Perspectives by itself is already enough basically to break cycling. Didn't notice it when I first read the spoiler because I didn't understand yet how cycling worked. Oy. Can't wait to pull that. Looks like they're continuing the trend of giving blue the most busted cards, just like the early days of MtG.

You'll get more than that when you consider that if you draw a card with cycling, it will gain mana, and you can immediately cycle it too. With the right set up, and a little luck, new perspectives and faith of the devoted together can end the match in one turn.
madwren said: Yeah, Drake Haven is bonkers, I can only imagine having New Perspectives with it.Basically, just throw in cycling cards. You don't even need to worry about casting them, or utilizing the cards for any purpose other than cycling. Just pay 1-2 cycling mana for a 4/4 drake each turn.

My best was to cycle ten for a 20/20.Eh..on average during five turns, than the game was over
