This card brings a lot of fond high school memories. Such a fun card. Aluren+Recycle+Slivers fun. Too bad it's too broken to reprint.

So, stupid combo deck question:
Are there enough self-replacing cards assuming Aluren is in play to build the world's silliest Laboratory Maniac deck? Candidates so far:
- Elvish Visionary
- Alchemist's Apprentice
- Wall of Omens
- Wall of Blossoms
- Sarcomite Myr
- Street Wraith
- Gitaxian Probe
- Manamorphose
- Anything with a low cycling cost (Sarcomite Myr probably qualifies for this more than anything)
You'd need Mana Severance, I imagine, but the basic idea is to run a whole lot of "empty" card slots and therefore use the Maniac to win. Alternatively, having a bunch of empty slots and a combo in the deck somewhere could work.

@ trygon
Check aluren's rulings. Although there are a couple points of synergy, animar will never allow you cast cmc >3 critters for free via aluren. Aluren checks the printed cmc, i think it has something to do wit it being in the hand zone.

This is fair in the same sense that Wrath of God is fair.

So here's something I learned in an EDH game I played recently: with Aluren on the field you can flash in your <=3 cmc general even if you have already cast it and all you have to pay is the additional {2}x previous casts!
