Updated June 4th 2021 Greetings Planeswalkers and welcome to a unique take on Extus! This particular build is focused on using the Extus half of the card to reuse cards with Cycling and generate a lot of card advantage in the aggressive Mardu Tri-color.

Pros: - Arguably the best colors for removal - Plenty of Graveyard Hate - Able to reuse Cycling cards with Abandoned Sarcophagus - Has 3 Combos - Can use graveyard tutors like Buried alive and Entomb. - Always active in the early game - Optimized for consistency - Able to Reanimate opponents creatures. - Can standstill with fog Kami of false hope/Angelsong

Cons: - Very likely to be hated off the table. - Doesn't use "Awaken the blood avatar" As much as desired. - Even the best Cycling cards tend to be situational. - You'll probably wish you had a splash of Blue sometimes to utilize Blue cycling cards.

Early Game: In the early game you'll tend to set up mana rocks or tutor for your combo pieces which will be explained in Mid-late game. Don't be afraid to cycle often, you'll get cards back with Extus or Abandoned Sarcophagus, Spellpyre Phoenix, Rooting Moloch, or Conspiracy theorist. the more you cycle, the stronger you make cards like Vile Manifestation or Zenith Flare

Mid Game: By now you should have a combo going which are the following: Unpredictable cyclone + Street Wraith

With Street Wraith you can essentially Cycle it for free to trigger many cycling payoffs in the deck, with the absolute best being Unpredictable cyclone. With enough mana and life, you can put all the creatures from your deck to the battlefield. Which is particularly devastating if you get out Void Beckoner, Bone Miser, Scion of Darkness, and so many more cards to bring out.

Combo 2; Magus of the wheel + Smothering tithe + Extus + Boots/Greaves

This is the combo when you want to bring the game to a close. By activating Magus of the wheel you'll force everyone to trigger Smothering tithe 21 times. You need only 6 treasures or so to loop Magus of the Wheel with Extus. Once you got the Magus loop going; you're on the clock and you have to win the game or you will deck out. You can easily clean the board with cards like Decree of pain or dismantling wave and hit hard with cards like Zenith Flare, Drannith stinger, Glint Horn buccaneer, Surly Badgersaur, Bone Miser + Anger, Vile Manifestation...and whatever big creature you can find. You can also kill off Extus with your own Decree of Silence or Sweltering suns to try to kill everyone off with Awaken the Blood Avatar. This combo doesn't seem very consistent and will be worth playtesting.

Combo 3: Infinite mana; the killing stroke. Sun Titan + Fiend Hunter + Phyrexian Altar. Step one) Cast sun titan, use his ability to target Fiend Hunter. Step two) Exile Sun titan with Fiend Hunter Step three) Sacrifice Fiend Hunter to Phyrexian Altar. Step Four) Repeat as desired. Step five) Cast "Awaken the blood avatar" enough times for game

Late game: You probably won't like late game too much. Other decks are going to start to outpace you and you'll probably end up making desperate maneuvers to go into your mid Game combos or remove key threats. But chances are, you're not gonna have the life or parity to compete with people.

Good luck everyone! And have fun!
