I'll come up with a more complete description later, but right now I'll just outline the combos for your convenience:

Fluctuator + cyclers = Free Cycling

Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry + Time Sieve = Infinite Turns and Thopters

Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth = Infinite mana for cycling into Blue Sun's Zenith or Exsanguinate

Cycling/Blue Sun's Zenith + Laboratory Maniac = Easy decking for an easy win, this is especially useful with Unearth that can recur the manic before the final cycle for an easily overlooked win.

Feel free to +1 if you enjoy the deck concept and execution.
