Gavi, Nest Warden: Now with 100% more Runes!

Okay, let's be honest here. Is Gavi, Best Warden the best C20 deck out of the box? It's pretty close between her and Snapdax, but Fierce Guardianship comes in this deck, so Gavi wins there.
Now, do you like drawing cards? Do you want to watch your friends get salty as you "play Magic" without doing anything? Does the thought of turning 3/4 of your deck into card advantage send you to your happy place? Gavi is the deck for you.
First thing I did? Minimize useless cycling costs. So most of anything with double mana symbols, extremely large cycling costs with little payout- all gone. In went things that have 2 colorless mana: we want to maximize Fluctuator when we see it, and making cycling costs free is a huge part of how we get away with not actually playing Magic, as it were.
Almost everything draws cards. Mana rocks? Card advantage. Unused spells? Card advantage. We LOVE drawing cards. Drawing makes us creatures. Drawing deals damage. Drawing (obviously) puts more cycling in our hand, which draws more cards, which...
You get it.
The Runes are a personal touch: Circle of Protection is always good, but a CoP that can turn into something else if I don't need it? Even better.
Basically? Get out a sleeper threat or two. Play lands. Draw your deck. Win.
