Five colored cycling?! Who'd have thought it could work? Well, surprise surprise, it does! So how does this deck play?

In short, you'll mainly sit back and let your opponents worry about each other while you speed through your cards to win the game. Here's how you do that.

The main goal is to get a lot of mana. The fastest way is to get Cabal Coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth on the field. This is where Golos, Tireless Pilgrim steps in, or Hour of Promise if you happen to draw it. As soon as you have five mana cast your commander! Grab one of the two pieces and recast him as soon as he leaves the field. Vizier of Tumbling Sands , Esper Sojourners , Cloud of Faeries and Frantic Search might not seem like much but being able to use them to untap Cabal Coffers for an additional use will put you lightyears ahead of your opponents.

FYI, if you are having trouble with this Splendid Reclamation is another option to getting your mana boost. Until you get those lands that is.

Now that you have that sweet sweet mana cycle/draw for Approach of the Second Sun . This is the fastest and easiest way to win. With the draw power in this deck it is really easy to get it back into your hand the same or following turn you cast it. Boseiju, Who Shelters All will give you the path of least resistance. However, if it does get countered don't worry. There are cards to bring it back, Eternal Witness and Noxious Revival . And there are also cards to bring back E-Wit just incase, Unearth and Wander in Death .

If some how all of that fails there is still an ace up your sleeve. Well two of them, Laboratory Maniac and Jace, Wielder of Mysteries . Just dig as fast and as hard as you can to the bottom of the deck and win with either of their effects. Alhammarret's Archive , Bone Miser and Fluctuator make this easier to do than you may think.

There are a few safety net cards in here that should be noted

Since you rarely interact with the board you need to make sure you can withstand the storm. Use the commander and get Glacial Chasm when you find yourself in danger. Also, Angelsong , Haze of Pollen and Lull can save your life!

It's an interesting deck that makes you think. The hardest part of this deck is deciding what cards to cycle and what cards to save for later. The more you play the easier these choices become. Also you can make this deck more budget friendly. You will lose out on some of it's consistency but if you don't want to fork out money for expensive cards I totally understand. If you have any questions or suggestions comment them down below. Also don't be afraid to play test this. It's a blast!
