Just played against the most insane limited deck ever

[Tom H]

My opponent had Abandoned Sarcophagus (which he said he got second to last pick in the first pack), 3 Ruthless Snipers, New Perspectives, Rags to Riches, Vile Manifestation, Grisly Survivor, and I believe that every other card in his deck had cycling. It was a thing of beauty, even if he did completely stomp my face with the deck. Cycling a bunch of 5/5 hexproof guys, then just casting them later seems like it would be really good, but that wasn't even close to the best things his deck could do. He had out a 10/4 Vile Manifestation on more than one occasion and pumped his Grisly Survivor up to a 14/3 at one point. He had to have some luck to hit all of those Amonkhet cards in the draft, but wow.... insane.

That is insane, but his Amonkhet pack sounds highly improbable. Given three packs, it's not even likely to pick up 3 copies of a particular uncommon. Additionally, it sounds like his strategy was wide open in HOU, or he went in with a bit of an idea to try cycling, and then was well rewarded. I'm not sure how easy it is to assemble 15 or so cards with cycling, but he had to have been on the path before he was passed the Sarcophagus. Right place, right time, right idea!
