So, you're looking for Cycles? There's been a number of them over the years...

Among my favorites are the *volvers cycle from Apocalypse, and the *scape Masters and Dragon Legends cycles from Invasion.

Urza's Saga had the "Song" cycle, with each color getting a growing enchantment that had big effects...Rumbling Crescendo, Recantation, etc.

Urza's Destiny had the Seers cycle...Cinder Seer, etc.

Exodus had Keepers of the whatever.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Incidentally, this might do better in Card Discussion.

Off the top of my head, I remember Urza's Saga also having a cycle in which you had the ability to transform any creature into a legendary creature from the history of Magic, they were...

-Serra's Embrace=Serra Angel
-Zephid's Embrace=Zephid
-Vampiric Embrace=Sengir Vampire
-Shiv's Embrace=Shivan Dragon
-Gaea's Embrace=Child of Gaea

And there you have it.

I have something to say about naming all the cycles made in magic:

Too

Many

to

name.


If you want to start collecting them more power to you, but you realize that ravinca itself has at least a dozen cycles?

Guild leaders

guild sub leaders

guild lands

dual lands

rusulkas

guildmages

guild rare spilt cost card

guild uncommom split cost card (guildmages falling under another cycle)

guild common split cost card

some gaint a** or defining creature for the guild (Simic has the sky swallower, the conclave has the 9/14 wurm, the Azorious has the sky reaver, and so on)

guild artifact (the sunforger, the walking archive, the riteknife, etc)

the hunted creatures

the spells that do something extra if you payed the guild's other color when you payed for the spell (vigor mortis, boros fury shield, ribbons of night, court hussar,etc.)

the Eidolons

the nephlim.
.........
....................
...............................
..................................................
And this is all only from the ravnica block. Not to mention I probably missed some still.

Now not that I'm saying that all blocks are this cycle heavy, but there are usually more cycles than most people think, they only see the obvious ones.

And I'm also not telling you to quite before you start. I;m just telling you to know what you're starting here, and that this is not a thing you will have done in a week, a month, probably not even int he year unless you have serious money.

I mean think about it, the moxes were a cycle.

Coldsnap Martyrs...?
Also, there is a cycle each of rare, uncommon, and common slivers from Legions. And in Stronghold (i think), plus, there is a two-color cycle of slivers.
Oh, and the cycle of "tap me to do something that is equal to my power"-creatures from Mirrodin.

Collecting cycles from MtG is a very bad idea. There is too many of them (like the others said before) and they are too hard to get (because over half of them are six years old...)

Starlight Invoker
Glintwing Invoker
Smokespew Invoker
Flamewave Invoker
Stonewood Invoker

All the effects are rather expensive, but if for some INSANE reason you have 8 mana left over at the end of your opponents turn, The Flamewave/Starlight Invokers can be nifty.
