Hey, The Orgg! I found a replacement card for you! All you have to do is have a combination of Gaea's Cradle, Tolarian Academy, Rofellos/Priest of Titania, Ley Druid, and/or High Tide. Interested yet, ye casual gamers out there? The replacement card for Paralyze in this kind of combination is simple. It's an early version of Mind Over Matter that appeared in Weatherlight. Any guesses? Here's a hint: I know you don't care.
Okay, enough foolishness. The card is Apathy. Apathy allows you to discard a card to untap the enchanted creature. Now, I'm not sure if it's been errated or anything, but if you can get a Rofellos/Priest with Apathy and a Well of Knowledge in play, not only can you cycle a lot of cards each turn with no real loss to your normal amount of man, you can get a hell of a lot of mana. Just one question, what besides Stroke of Genius can be used to kill your opponent? How many people have four Stroke of Genius? Hell, I don't think I have 1! Actually, if you can make the combo without interruption, then you can literally draw up to the Stroke of Genius. Well, that's the combo. You can also use the combo with the multi-mana lands with Ley Druid or something to untap your lands repeatedly.

Have you noticed that the Apathy/Rofellos/Well of Knowledge combo looks a lot like Cycling? I always wondered where they get these things....
