Winds would be a good finisher, certainly -- Will have to make room for it, can't believe I forgot it.

A little cycling is fine, but in pEDH there's no really good payoff for cycling aside from some creatures that get big for a turn like Horror of the Broken Lands and Cunning Survivor. That said, cycling is good for just incidental draw/lifegain, especially if you go into something like Drannith Healer who gives you more life gain on top of Queza.

TYA for the comments. You all have inspired me. I am brewing a Dimir OTK discard deck using Horror of the Broken Lands with Tolarian Winds and finishing the job with Rite of Consumption . Thank you for the support. Hopefully I will finish it soon.

Swapped out Bloodmad Vampire for Horror of the Broken Lands . I need a more sturdy beater, especially one that also synergizes early-game.

Well for starters, assuming you don't have problems with mana fixing because of your mana base, I would drop the landcycling creatures you have plus the Wurm for another copy of Horror of the Broken Lands and 2 copies of the Titanoth so you have a playset of both, and then add Architects of Will as it can be useful after you used Living End to control your enemy's draws for the next 3 turns, giving you a better chance to pull off uncontested attacks. Also, if you can use Blue on your non-budget version, Curator of Mysteries and Striped Riverwinder might also help you achieve victory

Ulamog's Crusher would be good for with Liliana, Waker of the Dead and is not pricey at all,Horror of the Broken Lands is not bad either. If your going all in on reanimator you may want to get things like Stinkweed Imp and Murderous Cut.

Here is a card I've been wanting for a while. Not necessarily on a god, but at least on a legendary creature.


Yu Ren Szi, the Power of Thought

Legendary Creature - God

Flying, haste, prowess

Cycling noncreature spells from your hand triggers Prowess abilities on your creatures.

Whenever you cycle a card, you may Scry 1.

4 / 5


I have wanted a commander for Cycling effects for a long time, and keying it to Prowess also gives it some power and flexibility, but it doesn't deliver you that win-con unless you go wide, which isn't easy to do with prowess, since those bodies aren't cheap and don't always replenish themselves.

Other prospects for cycling commanders that I can imagine would be rakdos (who likes it when you discard) and abzan (who will reanimate the creatures you cycle). Let me show you this Abzan commander I've been sitting on for a while (it's been ages since I've seen a wildcard so indulge me ;) )


Azranath, Master of Life's Cycle

Legendary Creature - Demon Angel Avatar

Vigilance

Creatures with cycling you control enter the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on them.

Whenever you cycle a creature card on your turn, until end of turn you may cast another creature card from your graveyard by paying its cycling cost and paying 3 life.

2 / 4


Not only is it card advantage, but it's a very cheap reanimator recursion of Abzan flavor that keeps it solidly in a cycling theme. (You can't break it with the big green or white creatures that you want to; instead you're limited to the ones that have cycling, like Krosan Tusker , Barkhide Mauler , Elvish Aberration , Greater Sandwurm , Jungle Weaver , Shefet Monitor , Pale Recluse , Horror of the Broken Lands , Archfiend of Ifnir , and Street Wraith ) ( Ruthless Sniper also goes in that deck, though it can't be reanimated or cycled). Access to white and green means you can remove those artifacts that keep you from accessing your graveyard.

Looking at Cycling as a commander theme thus far untapped, what would you do? Rakdos seems the other obvious choice for its wide discard mechanic applicability, but maybe you have another idea with bant, boros, orzhov... show me!

Xica on Living End Lives!!... at least, …

...tiers tend to describe how popular a given deck is.
In the sense that "how likely am i to encounter the deck in question during a major tournament?"
So no.
Your homebrew won't ever be a tier deck, unless it blows up, and everyone starts t copy it left and right.


More importantly you need some way to fight through hate cards - in this case Rest in Peace & Leyline of the Void .
The cascade living end decks do this by swapping Living End for Crashing Footfalls and casting big angry beat sticks like Archfiend of Ifnir or Horror of the Broken Lands .
The UR variants tend to swap to a control game plan that is enabled by Curator of Mysteries .

This deck accomplishes none of that.
Its simply a dredge deck without cards that feature the titular mechanic, or answers card for the hate that is going to come your way in game 2 & 3 in your 75.
(And Cathartic Reunion is terrible with living end, as the deck is risky enough already against counterspell decks and the card just increases the problem.)



While its true that before the ban of Faithless Looting "go-fast living end" variants were able to succeed via ignoring hate and jamming whatever hit hardest into their creature suit, the card is banned and the sub archetype is effectively dead as a result.
Right now you cannot "go under" interaction with living end decks.
