A Cycling Matters deck! The commanders are mainly for color identity, but sometimes they help out as well!

Basically, the main combo is Fluctuator and mana cycling cost cards (preferably Drifting Meadow and the like) to dig through your deck to Splendid Reclamation and then drop Avenger of Zendikar, Omnath, Locus of Rage or Hazezon Tamar to get lots of tokens and win by sheer force (you'd want to drop Omnath before the lands come back). The land base is mainly basics because it is pretty consistent with all of the cycling that's going on. It's not unlikely for this deck to end up with most of your lands in play due to cycling and Splendid Reclamation

Notable Combos:

Life from the Loam + Fluctuator + cycling lands = pretty much draw your whole deck

Cycle Decree of Annihilation + floating enough mana for Splendid Reclamation = nasty one sided land wipe

Parallel Lives + Avenger of Zendikar, Omnath, Locus of Rage or Hazezon Tamar + Splendid Reclamation = lots of tokens

Purphoros, God of the Forge + Avenger of Zendikar, Omnath, Locus of Rage or Hazezon Tamar = much pain for opponents

Alhammarret's Archive + any cycling card = discard one, draw two

Archfiend of Ifnir + cycling = one sided board wipe

Cryptolith Rites + tokens made from Avenger of Zendikar, Omnath, Locus of Rage or Hazezon Tamar = lots of mana

Please leave suggestions on what you would cut or add, general dispositions, or dank memes. Thank you!
