May is a significant time of the year for many pagans as it is filled with various holidays and celebrations that hold special meaning for them. One of the most well-known pagan holidays in May is Beltane, also known as May Day. Beltane signifies the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice and is seen as a time of fertility, abundance, and the awakening of the earth's energy. During Beltane, pagans often gather to perform rituals and ceremonies that celebrate the abundance of nature and the connection between the divine and the physical world. They may dance around a maypole, representing the union of the masculine and feminine energies, or build bonfires to bring good luck and protection. It is also common to decorate homes and altars with flowers and greenery, symbolizing the blooming of life and vitality.
Parallel Twister draws parallels to cards like Tribute to the Doomed or Raigeki Break, but with a twist on their effects. While those cards will cost you a card from your hand, Parallel Twister costs you a card from your field.
If you are using some of the common Side Deck cards like Rivalry of Warlords , you ve found how helpful it is to draw multiple copies it s not helpful at all. Since you ll usually want to use the monster for a Synchro, Xyz, or Tribute Summon, this happens pretty frequently to Call of the Haunted , and the reverse is true with Fiendish Chain.
It is also common to decorate homes and altars with flowers and greenery, symbolizing the blooming of life and vitality. Another significant pagan holiday in May is Walpurgis Night, which is celebrated in central and northern Europe. Walpurgis Night, also known as Hexennacht or the Witches' Sabbat, is seen as a time when the veil between the spirit realm and the physical world is thinnest.
Unpredictable Cyclone
If a cycling ability of another nonland card would cause you to draw a card, instead exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a card that shares a card type with the cycled card. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then put the exiled cards that weren't cast this way on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Thanks for the suggestion CommanderNeyo! That's a really good card for this deck!
What would you suggest I swap out for it though? I'm kinda thinking Unpredictable Cyclone , but I also really like how fun that card can be, plus it can be used to cheat out my higher CMC creatures. What do you think?

I think I would more or less do the same with the commanders you have laid out so I don't have much to offer there. Instead here are some deck ideas I have planned/currently working on:
Deck Ideas
- Adamaro, First to Desire : Mono-Red group hug
- Rakdos, Lord of Riots | Hamza, Guardian of Arashin : Morph
- Sakashima of a Thousand Faces & Krark, the Thumbless : Focused on Brothers Yamazaki
- Barrin, Master Wizard : Modular-control deck ( Arcbound Ravager )
- Firesong and Sunspeaker : Angel Spellslinging
- Daughter of Autumn : Damage Redirection Deck ( Pariah / Vigor )
- General Jarkeld : Block everything! ( Hundred-Handed One )
- Kentaro, the Smiling Cat : No plains in the deck, maybe cat tribal
- Baru, Fist of Krosa | Korlash, Heir to Blackblade : Utilize grandeur
- Korvold, Fae-Cursed King : Food token and Stuffy Doll with Gyome, Master Chef and Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar as the secret commanders.
- Kogla, the Titan Ape : King Kong theme (2005 Peter Jackson)
- Yidaro, Wandering Monster : Battle Cruiser ( Unpredictable Cyclone / Sneak Attack )
- Any tribal deck because tribal is my favorite

I think your last suggestions ( Wild Evocation , Unpredictable Cyclone and Aetherworks Marvel ) are a bit too much for me. However, I actually loved Dream Devourer and Ignorant Bliss . I'll probably get a playset of devourer, once I start buying the deck and test the ratios. I just don't think impulse draw will be that useful after Worldfire ing since I won't have mana.
Really grateful for your suggestions!

I quite like this. I'd consider Dream Devourer and . Dream devourer helps cheat on the cost of larger spells, while also setting up any colourless creatures as a wincon - its really sweet here.
On a pure jank level, I can reccomend my favourite card; Ignorant Bliss . It sets you up post-wildfire and counters thoughtsieze. In a similar vein, effects like You Find Some Prisoners or Light Up the Stage that exile cards from the top of libraries and let you cast them can set up a post-wildfire state in a pinch.
Wild Evocation or Unpredictable Cyclone is a cute way to set up worldfire, Aetherworks Marvel plays nice with garagodon, and mana rocks are good. Especially alongside devourer.
Best of luck - Jank brews like this are a lot of fun.

I was looking around for a deck to build that uses Shark Typhoon because I keep finding them in the packs I buy. I came across yours and I like the idea of using Unpredictable Cyclone in conjunction with it. It allows you to cheat out more expensive spells pretty effectively, while still creating a shark army. On that note, I would completely revamp the spells you have chosen, aside from Neutralize and Boon of the Wish-Giver , because they need to have cycling to trigger this awesome effect. I do really like Narset of the Ancient Way for this deck. I would remove Teferi, Time Raveler unless you decide to use more sorceries, like Essence Fracture .
- Zenith Flare will be the first obvious choice. It refers to cycling and grows in power rapidly as you cycle things, however it will only grow until the first Unpredictable Cyclone drops, so I am not sure.
- Rescind would be a solid choice, especially if you are running some counterspells.
- Complicate and/or Countervailing Winds seem like some decent choices if you want more counterspells.
- Sweltering Suns and/or Starstorm could replace the damage classic Shock .
- Cast Out could almost directly replace Banishing Light with a cycling equivalent.
- Lay Claim to steal the best of your opponent's forces.
- Astral Slide and/or Astral Drift might be useful, depending on the deck you end up with.
In any case, I love the basic concept and enjoyed trying to think about some synergy for it.

Tutors make deckbuilding easier, as you basically add additional copies of important cards. That's a useful thing on one hand, but it also is very powerful and very boring.
Power Level concerns aside, WotC wants to add splashy effects to the game, and that is a good thing I think (I'm talking splashy, not op). Adding a card to tutor for Instants, sorceries and enchantments ticks many hooks for WotC to not print it: Veeery powerful? Check. Very boring? Check.
They sure could, but I'm pretty sure they won't, and I think this is a good thing.
With regards to Elsha: Have you considered Unpredictable Cyclone with only some very specific enchantments?

If it were me, I would take out Lightning Rift and Drake Haven for Drannith Stinger and Glint-Horn Buccaneer . I personally am not a fan of cards that only do something if you pay a tax on something else (if that makes sense). On their own, Lightning Rift and Drake Haven do nothing. You make an initial investment to get the enchantment into play and then have to pour more mana into it just to get anything. Hoofprints of the Stag falls into the group as well. I'd replace it with something else.
Chromatic Orrery feels out of place here. I'd recommend swapping it out for Alhammarret's Archive .
I'm not entirely sure what your game plan for Fires of Invention and Unpredictable Cyclone are, but I'd swap both of those out at some point in the future. Possibly for Shark Typhoon and Rielle, the Everwise .
I think your last suggestions ( Wild Evocation , Unpredictable Cyclone and Aetherworks Marvel ) are a bit too much for me. However, I actually loved Dream Devourer and Ignorant Bliss . I'll probably get a playset of devourer, once I start buying the deck and test the ratios. I just don't think impulse draw will be that useful after Worldfire ing since I won't have mana.
It is believed that witches and spirits roam freely during this night, and many pagans gather to honor and communicate with these entities. In addition to Beltane and Walpurgis Night, May is also a time when pagans celebrate the festival of Floralia, dedicated to the Roman goddess Flora. Floralia is associated with the blooming of flowers and the arrival of spring. During this festival, pagans may perform rituals to honor Flora and ask for blessings on their gardens and crops. Overall, May is a month filled with pagan holidays that celebrate the awakening of nature, the fertility of the earth, and the connection between the divine and the physical world. These celebrations are a time for pagans to come together, express gratitude for the abundance of life, and honor the natural cycles that shape our existence..
Reviews for "The Role of Music in Pagan May Day Celebrations"
1. John Smith - 1 star
The Psgan holidays in May was a complete disappointment for me. The storyline was weak and the characters were not developed properly. I found it difficult to connect with any of them and their motivations felt forced. Additionally, the pacing was all over the place, with the story dragging on for what seemed like forever. Overall, I would not recommend watching this movie as there are much better options out there.
2. Sarah Johnson - 2 stars
I had high hopes for Psgan holidays in May, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The plot felt disjointed and lacked depth. The performances were mediocre at best, and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. The movie failed to engage me on an emotional level, and I found myself losing interest halfway through. It's a shame because the premise had potential, but the execution was lacking.

Psgan holidays in May was a boring and forgettable film experience. The story was predictable and offered no surprises or twists. The acting was subpar, with the characters feeling one-dimensional and uninspiring. The cinematography and editing were also unremarkable, failing to elevate the overall viewing experience. I would suggest skipping this movie and looking for something more engaging and original.
