A slightly-updated take on the classic Astral Slide deck from the days of extended. This time we're using Astral Drift, which is basically just an upgraded version of the original Astral Slide - this time packing a built-in cycling itself that has the same effect!

To make the most use of this effect, we have lots of creatures to flicker. Loxodon Hierarch enters the battlefield and gains life (on top of its normal stats and abilities), Eternal Witness grabs anything back from the graveyard, and Tilling Treefolk gets cycling lands back from the graveyard. Finally, Exalted Angel can be cast for its Morph cost and then flickered to flip it to its front side.

For cards with cycling, we're running both of the single-cost cyclers in our colors - Secluded Steppe and Tranquil Thicket - as well as the dual-typed Scattered Groves. Edge of Autumn gives us early-game ramp and late-game cycling, which can also throw lands into the graveyard for Tilling Treefolk. We have Eternal Dragon that can cycle to get a plains from our deck, Angelsong can be used to slow aggressive decks and cycled when it's no longer needed, and Decree of Justice which can create tokens in a pinch.

Wrath of God and Generous Gift provide some removal, and the token created by Generous Gift can be flickered into oblivion if necessary.
