Miss Gavi’s School of Blossoming Cycles

Blue/Red/White Cycling

Gavi, Nest Warden by Randy Vargas

Welcome to Miss Gavi’s School of Blossoming Cycles, an affiliate of the Dominaria Technical College Certificate Program! Under Gavi’s tutelage, creatures of all shapes, sizes, and numbers of limbs can learn the beauty of natural cycles: from birth to death to rebirth again!

Cycling is the key mechanic here. Use Gavi and Fluctuator to reduce your cycling costs, then pile on value triggers every time you discard and draw thanks to spells like Drake Haven, Improbable Alliance, Chasm Skulker, and more. Build your army of tokens and boost them with Intangible Virtue and Akim, the Soaring Wind. Then take to the sky and show your opponent the meaning of “vicious cycle.”

For an added bonus, sing “The Circle of Life” in your best Elton John voice while attacking with an army of Dinosaur Cats and Cat Birds, just to help your opponent better appreciate the beauty of natural cycles.
