Mono-colored cycling lands

2 cycling lands

Cycling lands were introduced in Urza's Saga with the Cycling {2} ability.

M cycling lands

Later in Onslaught, were introduced another variant with the Cycling M ability, where M is the associated color of each land. They were reprinted in Modern Horizons and are therefore Modern legal.[1]

Cycling Deserts

Hour of Devastation added the Godless Deserts, another variant with the Cycling {1}M ability, were M is the associated color of each land. They are Deserts.

Dual-colored cycling lands

Amonkhet added allied colored dual lands (also known as bicycle lands[2]) with the Cycling {2} ability. Unlike other cycling lands these have basic land types.[3]

Triome lands

Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths' introduced a cycle of wedge-colored cycling lands (also known as tricycle lands) that each have the Cycling {3} ability. Like the bicycle lands, these lands have basic land types.

Streets of New Capenna completed the cycle with the shard-colored versions, though not named Triomes, rather themed as the base of power of the Capennan gang crime lords ("hideouts").

Other lands

Besides the cycles there are two other lands, which enter the battlefield untapped and produce {C}.
