jeskai cycling control (Modern MTG Deck)

Jeskai cycling control. We're pretty much just playing at instant speed as much as we can to just hold off the opponent and use any extra Mana left at the end of their turn to cycle and fill the graveyard for a big fat zenith flare. If the graveyard ends up getting exiled or something else goes wrong there's Sharknado to back it up. I wanted to use new perspectives here also because it frees up mana for us (albeit later on), and just to make it easier to satisfy it's 7+ cards in hand condition I threw in the magic mirror, which in itself looks like a synergistic and fun way to generate card advantage. And they both make big sharks.

In the sideboard are some creatures we can use to apply pressure to other control decks, as well as an abandoned sarcophagus in case we are having a tough time managing an opponent and want to keep cards available, even though it makes zenith flare obsolete.

Drannith healer/stinger are in the maybe board because they get killed by sweltering suns. Compelling argument might be really good for filling the graveyard quicker but I don't have a way to fish things that I wanted out of there. I actually do really like enigma drake for this but flourishing fox is cheaper and reptilian reflection is more evasive, but please give me a reason to put it somewhere. Maybe in place of gilded light in the sideboard? Same for curator of mysteries I guess.

Thanks for reading, please let me know what you think
