Alright, second iteration. The first iteration was caught up in the minutiae, but this one will have a stronger central identity. Low-mid budget, medium power.

Central Concept: Draw Control

• Cycling: A consistent means to draw during other players' turns. Once you've cast the copy of a card, you can cycle the original if it doesn't suit you.
• Looting: A similar story. Control when you draw, as well as the cards you put into your graveyard.
• Topdeck Manipulation: I need to see the future, so I can alter the present accordingly. Scrying, Brainstorming, and Precognition.

The only question, now and forever: How much is enough?

• For cycling? Enough to warrant running Fluctuator, hopefully. I think the main guideline is to not run bad cards solely for their cycling ability. Let's start with like 10-12.
• For looting? That's more nebulous. The gold standard is stuff like Merfolk Looter, with unmitigated control over when it happens, and without mana cost. Let's try 6-8 for now.

I would appreciate some feedback on this.
