So I have played this drakes deck for well, years, and I wanted to keep playing it. With Rielle being an extremely strong card I wanted to find a way to make this deck work in the new ikoria metagame. I played around with Arclight Pheonix for a bit but now I am trying out this cycling based "drakes" deck. Since the drakes only care about Inst and sorcs in the graveyard and not if they were actually cast I can just cycle a bunch of things into the graveyard. Then use footfall crater to smash in. I just threw this together I am not sure about the mana base.
It feels so wrong to play this without shock and opt that have been in every other version of this deck I have built. But I have so few options for removal in red/blue anyway
