Deck Description

I got this idea from a friend, as he totally destroyed my elf deck into dust...
Place a fluctuator then mill your own deck with all the cycling cards. then.. when your set with all your cards in your cemetery: Lotus petal, Dark rittual then Haunting misery

It's a fun to play 2nd - 3rd turn win...

Deck discussion for (Re)Cycling

Looks like a fun little concept, however you have to be able to get every single one of your creatures into your graveyard. A few more creatures could go a long way to helping you get your cycle combo rolling, like Abyssal Gatekeeper and Diabolic Intent, to tutor a Fluctuator or Haunting Misery to your hand, and to force your opponent to sac a creature.

Also, it's not entirely unlikely for you to have a creature card on the bottom of your library. If that be the case, you will draw your last card, and have only cycling to get the creature into your graveyard before your next turn.. so that's a guaranteed loss, just by running only 20 creatures.

Another insanely powerful card in this is Words of Waste, it allows you to turn your cycles into discards. Which can save your life while you're waiting for a Fluctuator.

Awesome idea =D, I'll remodule my deck right away. xD

And since words of waste is a 3 mana black card, just a dark ritual away xD

How about like this? Instead of placing abyssal gatekeeper and diabolic Intent,
I placed demonic tutor (I know it's a overpowered card) and placed 8 more "cycling 2" creatures.

That way i have 28 creatures, enough to prevent the, "last draw creature" problem, and with demonic tutor i increase the probability of grabing fluctuator. =P

What do you think?

I know I went a bit overboard... i took 4 lands and placed 9 more cards...
Went a bit unbalanced there =P.

i need to find a good ballace between,

placing 20+ creatures with cycling 2
placing 4 fluctuators plus some other way to get him in my hand
placing all 24 "cycling 2" lands, (Drifting Meadow,Polluted Mire,Remote Isle,Slippery Karst,Smoldering Crater and Blasted Landscape)
placing both lotus petal and dark ritual to be able to play words of waste and haunting misery,
placing both hauting misery and words of waste...

that's a lot of cards...

Oh, I just found out that Words of Waste "overrides" my drawing ability... making the combo useless...
I'll consider it being on my sideboard but he can't be in main...

Edit:

Took both words of waste and placed 2 vampiric tutors (doubling my chance of getting my fluctuator)
Took 2 hauting misery since I don't need to get him so soon, and i'll eventually will mill my entire deck with the cycles.
Took two disciple of malice and placed 2 street wraith since paying 2 life can help me if fluctuator isn't in play.
