How often does Reptilian Reflection transform, I only see the triomes with cycle. You may be better served with more token creation like Destroyerbirb mentioned. Personally I would look at Reverent Hoplite, Goblin Wizardry, Falconer Adept, Archon of Sun's Grace, or Satyr's Cunning for tokens to proc Terror of the Peaks.

Other than that, solid looking deck. If you do eventually look to expand the deck to Throne of Eldraine- Harmonious Archon might be fun, make your dudes bigger dudes.

Haven't the standard bannings been the best thing to happen this year?

Jokes aside, with Teferi, Time Raveler gone, you don't have to worry about casting Transmogrifying into a Terror of the Peaks just to have it bounced by Teferi, Time Raveler. In historic, people are doing a similar thing, just with Craterhoof Behemoth. The only problem with this deck is that when Reptilian Reflection and Riddleform become creatures, it doesn't count as them entering the battlefield. (They turn into creatures, not leave the battlefield and re-enter.) I would put in some Castle Ardenvales for token production, and take out Reptilian Reflection and Riddleform for 3x Satyr's Cunning and 3x Angelic Ascension.

+1 from me.

Hey man have you considered Reptilian Reflection it can provide you a blocker earlier than Ominous Seas and gives you a clock to distract from the combo or just win outright if something happens to disrupt the combo.

I may put this together and give it a shot, sounds interesting and a fresh take on cycling is always nice.

MZROSE1985 I don't think it works with Unpredictable Cyclone the way you think it will. Since it searches through your whole library to find a card that shares a card type, you will always get an enchantment out of it - you don't need to run a critical mass. At the same time, you can't use Escape Protocol or Reptilian Reflection to trigger Unpredictable Cyclone because you need to cycle the card, not cast it.

And since Sharknado triggers off of any non-creature spell, not just enchantments, you'll get sharks with all of the above additions besides Drannith Stinger!

Feel free to ask questions here if you're unsure: https://tappedout.net/mtg-questions/

Why do you need Escape Protocol? The best-case scenario you can flicker a Crystal for neutral mana, but with no ETB effects I don't think it's worthwhile. I think you probably don't need Reptilian Reflection or Ominous Seas, either, because they're slow and/or awkward. If you cut them, you'd guarantee hitting Shark Typhoon or a second Unpredictable Cyclone by cycling either enchantment, which is definitely more powerful than getting a free Ominous Seas.

I'd suggest cutting the above, freeing up 7 slots, and adding some of the following:

+2/3 Boon of the Wish-Giver - 1-mana cycler, and if you run 2+ you can guarantee hitting the other copies off of Unpredictable Cyclone which is... better Ancestral Recall!

+1 Drannith Stinger, because it makes sure you hit Yidaro, Wandering Monster off of Cyclone.

+1/2 Shredded Sails, which is very good at the moment against Luminous Broodmoth, Witch's Oven, and it cycles anyway.

+1/2 Scorching Dragonfire to help survive early and hit Planeswalkers like Tef3ri

Good luck have fun!
