Funny Cycle Combo

My new favorite build for Tezzeret The Schemer. Too funny and a lot of fun!

The cyclers:
- Curator of Mysteries
- Vizier of Tumbling Sands
- Shimmerscale Drake
- Hieroglyphic Illumination
- Floodwaters (very important)
- Stir the Sands

The combos
- Kefnet's Monument (If you own New Perspectives, use that duh)
- Drake Haven
- Faith of the Devoted (Usually the win con)
- Alhammarret's Archive

It is SO much fun. Even with the monument in place of new perspectives, you can just cycle for days. Easily stack up 40+ drakes in a single turn, syphon 100 life (gain even more with the archive), and fog every turn with Floodwaters to stall a dicey board until Faith can end the game. I want to try this with Dovin Baan using Drake Haven alongside Anointed Procession to make a literal army of Drakes.

    Curator of Mysteries, Drake Haven, New Perspectives.
    7 other cycling cards with cycling cost 3 or less.
    (If not Standard, 6 cycling cards and Haunted Cloak.)

    It's a boring slog, but it's very hard to lose with these three cards on the battlefield.  This core can be played with any blue planeswalker.

    Thank you for Faith of the Devoted tip. I have missed it for my  blue/black cycling deck.

    hmm mine is sort of like the i use curator and new perspectives but baral , zombies spells and herald of anguish. one is filling the cycling cards other filling the spells plus 2 kill spells one being lethal sting i dont have to worry much about mana  no defenders but if you get a good start hand she takes of and scorches them before they can even get cards out
