Originally inspired by the cycling deck from this episode of the SCG Commander versus series, created by John Suarez. I decided to add a few non-cycling cards to it that would still benefit from cheating out a Living End, such as cards with Transmute. Grozoth is particularly awesome since early game he can Transmute to get a Blasphemous Act when you're behind on board (which you will be) and late game when he's reanimated he can grab Rise of the Dark Realms. The 6-mana Transmuters also usually grab either board wipes (eg. Terminus, Merciless Eviction, Akroma's Vengeance) or win conditions (eg. Twilight's Call, Tromp the Domains).
