I figured this would probably be a green or white creature or an artifact or artifact creature, but even without the reminder text this would likely be too unruly: Card Name <casting cost> Creature -- <creature type> <power/toughness> Plainscycling  Islandcycling Swampcycling Mountaincycling Forestcycling Maybe: Card Name <casting cost> Creature -- <creature type> <power/toughness> Plainscycling , Islandcycling , Swampcycling , Mountaincycling , Forestcycling ( , Discard this card: Search your library for a Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, or Forest card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.) Alternatively, I could make a cycle of creatures with either allied colour landcycling or enemy colour landcycling. For example: Card Name 2G Creature -- Elf 2/2 Plainscycling ( , Discard this card: Search your library for a Plains card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.) Mountaincycling ( , Discard this card: Search your library for a Mountain card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.) Or: Card Name 2G Creature -- Elf 2/2 Islandcycling ( , Discard this card: Search your library for a Island card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.) Swampcycling ( , Discard this card: Search your library for a Swamp card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.) What do you think? |

Does this have to cycle? Or could it be made a channel card instead?

I'd do something like:
Channel -- 3, Discard <this>: Search your library for a Swamp, Plains, Island, Forest or Mountain, reveal it, and put that card into your hand. Shuffle your library.
All said, I'd like to see a better reason to run this than Krosan Tusker, which could only search basic lands, but it drew a card also.

I don't want to use channel over landcycling, but I would like it/them to be playable.

Making it a channel ability would make it fit into one ability rather than 5 landcyclers.

Could we give it "BasicLandcycling"?

What is wrong with using the channel ability rather than the landcycling ability? Mechanically, they are going to do the exact same thing and it's easier to template the version with channel.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

I assume that he wants this to cycle so that it has synergy with other cycling effects e.g. Astral Slide. Channel is definitely cleaner, though, and if it was a creature, it could have some ability that works in nicely with this.
The allied and opposite colour cycling creature idea was interesting, and would be more elegant, if cycling was mandatory. Another idea could be to make it like Wood Elves, but uncounterable.

That should work, I think. |

I am going to ask to have this thread closed. There are a lot of directions I can take these and I will develop them and maybe re-post them when I have fleshed them out.
