Mega cycle
 | Please help improve this article or section by expanding it. |
A mega cycle is a cycle whose component cards exist in separate sets within the same block.
An example of this would be the Kaldra Equipment in Mirrodin block. This cycle consists of Sword of Kaldra from Mirrodin, Shield of Kaldra from Darksteel, and Helm of Kaldra from Fifth Dawn.
Another example is the Ravnica block "Shock Lands"; Overground Tomb, Sacred Foundry, Temple Garden and Watery Grave are from Ravnica Set, while Godless Shrine, Steam Vents and Stomping Ground are from Guildpact set. The mega cycle of shock lands is completed with Blood Crypt, Breeding Pool and Hallowed Fountain. The Ravnica Block bounce lands are another example of a mega cycle. These bounce lands include Boros Garrison. They all enter the battlefield tapped and require you to return a land you control to its owner's hand upon entering the battlefield. They each tap for two mana.
