Cycling is a keyword ability that allows a player to pay a cost that includes discarding the card. When the activated ability resolves, that player draws a card. Cycling has been perennially popular and has been featured in more blocks than any other non-evergreen keyword, appearing in the Urza, Onslaught, Time Spiral, and Alara blocks.
