This is a pet deck of mine. The idea started around one of my favorite cards ever, Astral Slide, and somehow incorporating it into a viable deck. Astral Slide alone is really hard to build around unless you do something with Zur, the Enchanter (and I don't want to go that direction), so I've tried to build around incredible synergy instead with cycling/life from the loam/lands elements/flicker effects. Basically just try to build immense board presence and use your toolbox of answers that you can recur to create favorable trades and card advantage. A lot of the cards in here are also personal favorites from when I started playing as a kid.

I know the mana base can be further optimized. A Flooded Strand is at the top of my list to grab soon, and I'm on the lookout to pick up the Trop, Tundra, and Misty Rainforest I need as well.

Otherwise any comments or improvements are much appreciated.
