      Agree. I'd actually like The Command Zone to become a group show, where each episode 2 of 5 or 6 hosts host it (almost always having a Jimmy or Josh, though). It just gives more viewpoints and will free up the main hosts too. Between Craig, DJ Ashlen-Rose and Jimmy and Josh, there's 5 already! Add in Ladee and maybe Kyle, and boom, there's plenty to choose from! (Note: I do love Jimmy and Josh but their playstyles and values are well-documented, so would just be interesting to see, say, Kyle's cEDH perspective or DJ's 'janky', fun comboish brew mindset widen the whole show a little more!)

    Seeing Toothy reminded me of a game I played once with a friend. He was playing Pir and Toothy as his commanders and he was absolutely dominating the game, and took the other 3 players out with his 45/45 Toothy. I managed to draw a removal spell and he had to draw 45 cards and decked out. Probably one of the best ways I've won a game

      Drawing cards feels so awesome you sometimes get drunk on the power. Once I cast Cyclonic Rift overloaded with a Multani, Maro-Sorcerer on board. I resolved my commander Prime Speaker Zegana, and promptly drew around 40+ cards leaving me with about 4 cards in library and I ended up decking myself. Not my proudest moment.

    I would consider Improbable Alliance for this deck, you get a 1/1 flying Faerie on the same trigger as Gavi, and it's only 2 mana to cast. Actually "draw your second card in a turn) was the draft theme for UR in Eldraine, so there's more examples out there, but the Alliance pays out in flying tokens.

    The very first card I thought of that wasn't mentioned was Amulet of Vigor. With a substantial percentage of the landbase coming in tapped if you get stuck having to drop one, being able to untap them, including the bounce lands, cycle the cards you bounced and still have mana up for more cycles outside of Gavi's first turn ability is vital. Needs to go in.

      they should add Reds “exile cards from top of library you may play them till end of your next turn” cards to white. Honestly just color shifting cards to white would be a great idea(IE color shifted act on impulse, experimental frenzy, utopia sprawl etc..)

    A sneaky combo is Escape Protocol with Cloud of Fairies and a Gavi on the field. With Gavi, make your cycling abilities zero, then cycle a card for 0, triggering Escape Protocol and paying 1 to flicker Cloud of Fairies, tap your 2nd land to add mana to the pool before Fairies returns, Fairies returns and untaps 2 lands, cycle for 0 again, pay 1 and flicker Fairies and dump the extra land untapped into the pool, and rinse and repeat to keep drawing cards and adding mana until you have no cycling cards left to draw. It's awesome!

    Protip on some super secret bad card tech for a deck with a strong looting mechanic throughout from someone that used to play a Jeskai colors deck with lots of looting in a 300 card format:
    Planar Birth is a pretty great way to dump a bunch of basic lands you preferentially discarded to loot effects. It let's all players get the effect but historically opponents got a few lands sometimes and I would flip like 15 lands into play.
    It's also one of my pet cars so I'm hyped to just use it again.

      But to be fair: drift, slide, escape protocol, and all the tutors combine nicely with the inherent card filtration of the deck, and you'll probably be able to find one of those three somewhat reliably.
      And the effect is so powerful anyway, it's worth finding.
      Not to mention how broken the deck can get, just fiend hunter or mulldrfiter and a few cycle cards can wreck a table, with slide/drift/protocol.

    I love this deck, cycling was an almost there deck that needed a few more good payoffs and to get a bit more cycling utility along with reprints. Also fires of invention in a cycling deck seems nuts, it essentially triples your mana. Kinda sad no green, Ayulas influence, tuskar, life from the loam etc are all so insanely good. And mending of dominaria, splendid rec, and the merfolk, along with ramunamp, wrenn and six are all great payoffs since you can get so many cycling lands in 4 colors.
    Discarding 3 lands to influence casting loam then cycling a card and getting loam back and discarding three lands again, casting loam and discarding 3 lands, if one of those has cycling for a mana its just 3 2/2s and draw a card loam and dredge for 3 mana. Could definitely see some 5 color flash rector pod cycling deck with a focus on land cycling seems worth building.

      @@saxxioxo7274 If you wanna make that combo with Decree of Annihilation even worse then try out Tamiyo, the Moon Sage. Her ultimate, which is a -8, gives you an emblem that gives you no maximum hand size and when any card is put into your graveyard from anywhere, you can put it back into your hand. What this means is if you can get that ultimate off you can cycle Decree of Annihilation off every turn making sure no one gets to play land ever again for the entire game. Tricky to do? Yes. Mean and satisfying when it goes off? Absolutely.

    There is no way you have intact ultra pro sleeves from 8 years ago. In the last year, they had better sleeve quality. Before that the sleeves would peel very quickly.

      I still have the ones I bought for the Mirrodin pre-release, 17 years ago, in great shape. Though somewhere in the last 10 years, something went horribly wrong with their products.

      Ultra pro sleeves have very differing degrees of durability even within the same product line. I have bought orange Eclipse sleeves that fell apart at the corners after the very first game. Others have been pristine for months. My impression is that pre-Eclipse the quality was almost always terrible, now it’s mostly solid with rare exceptions.

    A loot/cycling deck... Another place to shine with Rielle! I was thinking about making this kind of deck but with Rielle as the commander.. Now I must admit I have a hard time making my mind. I think she'll only join the deck, but not as a commander anymore.. With Brallin and Shabraz, Ominous Seas and such.. The counters can rise so fast.

      @@alexanderforbes1452 Are you pertaining to Abandoned Sarcophagus? The card will just be exiled by the Sarcophagus if the card with cycling goes to the yard if it's not because of cycling it... Bag of Holding just exiles a card whenever you discard it... So it perfectly works... The only nonbo I can see is that you can't cast the cycling cards if the Bag will exile them, which is not really a nonbo for me... Both of them provide reuse of your cycled cards, so both are must-runs in my opinion...

    Instead of Wall of Omens for a 2 mana card advantage engine, I'd suggest the Modern Horizons card Watcher of Tomorrow. You don't get the card right away the first time you cast it, but once you can slide it you get to Impulse every time you cycle.

    I'd replace Niv-Mizzet the Firemind with Niv-Mizzet Parun or possibly even the OG Niv-Mizzet Dracogenius.
    Firemind has an easy tap to draw but if you've got mana open and instants to play, Parun can give you more draws across the full turn cycle if your opponents don't play any instants or sorceries. Dracogenius lets you pay BR to draw a card so you can freecycle Gavi then get another draw on each opponent's turn.
    I also think Izzet Charm has a possible spot in Gavi or the Skyshark Partners for the draw two cards then discard two cards mode.
