However, in a deck that is running ways to consistently untap the pyramid (Paradox Engine) and/or ways to add extra counters (Atraxa, Praetors' Voice), then Pyramid of the Pantheon becomes much better and I'd happily run it

However, you can cast your creatures to chump block and buy time Cloud of Faeries is excellent at this since you get to untap mana to cycle with The Disciples are great blockers vs the aggro decks they have protection from Against control, wait until you have 2+ Fluctuators to cast them into open mana Against control, use Fluctuator as counter bait once you identify you will be able to manually cycle yourself for the win Dromars Cavern can act as your Lotus Petal starter to cast Songs of the Damned if you still have a land drop to make (it also lets you pick up a land to cycle) Remember that Orims Chants or Enlightened Tutor increase the likelihood you might run into a block of non-cycling cards if you are going for the win with a resolved Fluctuator Its usually safe to shave down on cycling creatures for your interactive cycling sideboard cards Enlightened Tutor is a nice hedge vs matchups with discard since they cant discard the top card of your deck

It might be a little too color-heavy, but Future Sight would let us do more of the same
