Deck Description

Astral Slide has always been a favorite of mine and I think I finally have a good build for it.

The idea is simple, use Fluctuator to reduce the cycle cost for my cards and phase out my opponents creatures as well as mine. Using Eternal Witness, I can repeatedly Strip Mine, Wrath of God, Plow Under, and Orim's Chant. Each one of those spells allow me to "control" the game. Library of Leng also allows me to cycle cards back to the top of my library and draw them as part of the cycle. This allows the player to cycle indefinitely. Sun Titan, Life from the Loam, and Eternal Witness pull cards back from the graveyard.

Deck discussion for Astral Slide

Thanks for the comment on mine. This is really cool, i would certainly get some ideas off you if life from the loam wasnt that expensive.

Like this build though, im a big fan of graveyard recursion, I bet you get some sickening turns going with this deck.

I do get a few nasty turns. 2x Life from the Loam works well in this deck with all the cycle lands and the strip mine that I have. And this deck hosts a few ways to control my opponents. I love Astral Slide and wanted a deck that used my Life from the Loams. This uses both and is very fun to play. Thanks for the comment. I might build another deck that uses morphing creatures. They could be any color and that opens a lot of doors.

you need to add cartographers as when you cycle you can remove them and when they come back get back cycle lands like secluded steepe super effective
