3 Plague DogsHere's the premise: Play cheap critters that can either be sacrificed/redshirted or cycled until Linessa, Zephyr Mage and Oriss, Samite Guardian can come online. Use Oversold Cemetery to recur those creatures and lock the opponent out of the game. It's a little tricky, because it is still a three card combo: One Oversold Cemetery and two copies of either Linessa or Oriss. When it works, though, it's pretty effective.

This deck hasn't really undergone a microscope since I re-built it back in the Future Sight days (it started off as a Mortal Combat deck) and shortly after added Esper Panorama. Creatures have changed dramatically since then so that's where I'm going to start. For example, Capashen Unicorn could be upgraded to Felidar Cub, Ronom Unicorn, or Kami of Ancient Law and there's even a case to be made for Wispmare.
Fortunately, new cycling cards in Everything Ends' colors have been printed in Amonkhet block which means this is a prime opportunity to revisit the deck. A card like Vile Manifestation could even represent another win condition. I at least need some reason to include black in this deck now: cycling cards are not a good enough reason. There's clearly room to explore so I am looking forward to digging in!
