Strategy
Stockman, Mad Fly-entist is a flying threat that rewards you for cycling and discarding. His enter trigger draws you a card then forces a discard, which fuels graveyard strategies while digging toward your answers. The islandcycling ability doubles as both mana fixing and a way to bin cards you want in the yard. Build around repeatable cycling payoffs—cards that trigger whenever you cycle or discard—to turn Stockman into a card-advantage engine that also applies pressure in the air.
Your win condition is turning Stockman's evasive body and synergies into a grinding card advantage engine that eventually closes with commander damage or a secondary threat you've assembled. Include cycling-focused cards like Fluctuator to make cycling cheaper, and discard synergies like Obsessive Stitcher or Garza Zol to convert each wheel spin into fresh resources. You're not racing anyone; you're generating value until opponents run out of answers.
