It is sweet to be holy, but terrible to face the Wrath of God! In order to obtain a place at the side of the King of Kings in Heaven, you must cast aside worldly concerns, command the devil to get behind you, and cycle away all the BLACK CARDS in your hand to show your faith in the Most Holy! Do this, and the eternal or at least a significant portion of life will be yours if you have the Faith of the Devoted!
Translation for people who don't appreciate my shenanigans:
I made this stupid casual deck for a free play and I'm now not allowed to bring it around any more. I thought someone else might be amused by my stupid deck idea. The point is to cycle furiously until you have 4 lands and Faith of the Devoted on the battlefield, then trigger Faith of the Devoted until the enemy is dead. Desperate Castaways and Gifted Aetherborn are there to block and buy you time until the combo goes off, Archfiend of Ifnir and Vile Manifestation are alternate win conditions, though admittedly not very good ones.
Shadow of the Grave or Abandoned Sarcophagus could be interesting additions to this deck. I doubt you are actually playing any of your cycling cards to the field most games, but both of these cards can give you some resiliency in case Faith of the Devoted doesn’t work out. The issue is that it seems U/B is pretty strong right now, and between hand disruption and countering, I don’t know if you can rely on Faith of the Devoted to be a win condition for you.
As a casual deck, though, it has a nice focused strategy and it’s hard to stop if you don’t adjust your game plan for it.
Oh, you absolutely can't rely on Faith of the Devoted, or any permanent really, these days. But they HAVE to stop it or they're getting it for 4-8 life every turn it's online.
