What is cycling in magic the gathering?

Answer 1

Cycling is a card mechanic in Magic: The Gathering that allows players to pay a specific cost to discard a card from their hand and draw a new card. This ability provides additional card selection and helps players maintain a steady flow of resources. Cards with cycling typically have the keyword "Cycling" followed by a cost, such as "Cycling 2," indicating that the player can pay that cost to activate the ability. Cycling can be particularly useful in decks that want to thin their card pool or trigger specific effects from discarding cards.
