Les quatre cartes Iron-Heart Chimera, Tin-Wing Chimera, Brass-Talon Chimera et Lead-Belly Chimera, de l'édition Visions et illustrées par Mike Dringenberg, forment un cycle appelé "Chimera".
L'artiste a utilisé quatre fois le même schéma, légèrement décalé, en arrière-plan de l'illustration de chaque carte : en observant bien, on peut voir qu'il correspond à l'assemblage des quatre créatures... :
• à gauche, Brass-Talon Chimera
• au milieu, Iron-Heart Chimera
• à droite, Lead-Belly Chimera
• au-dessus, Tin-Wing Chimera
Les cinq cartes Honorable Passage, Dream Tides, Desolation, Heat Wave et Elephant Grass, de l'édition Visions, forment un cycle de "Color-Hosers".
Les cinq cartes Mangara's Equity, Mind Harness, Reign of Terror, Reign of Chaos et Roots of Life, de l'édition Mirage, forment un cycle de "Color-Hosers".
Les cinq cartes Plumeveil, Wasp Lancer, Ashenmoor Gouger, Boggart Ram-Gang et Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers, de l'édition Shadowmoor, forment un cycle.

Source 1 ( #2) Ashenmoor Gouger - #8) Boggart Ram-Gang ) - Source 2 ( #62) Plumeveil - #104) Wasp Lancer - "The triple-hybrid creatures at uncommon (yes, it's a cycle) all have very simple abilities—mostly keyworded ones. [...]" - #106) Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers )
Les cinq cartes Thistledown Duo, Gravelgill Duo, Emberstrike Duo, Tattermunge Duo et Safehold Duo, de l'édition Shadowmoor, forment un cycle appelé "Duo".
Ce cycle a inspiré un cycle similaire, paru dans l'édition Bloomburrow (voir cette anecdote).

Source 1 ( #19) Emberstrike Duo - "[...] +1/+1 bonus seems odd for certain colors. While we wouldn't do the bonus in isolation on certain colors, power / toughness boosting is enough of a basic ability that it's pretty much shared by all colors at a low level, and so we felt fine using it on a cycle. [...]") - Source 2 ( #56) Gravelgill Duo - "[...] The other question this cycle generated was why one color produced a cumulative effect (that is, one that mattered if it triggered multiple times in a turn) and the other side did not. The answer is that there just aren't that many cumulative effects, especially in creature keywords which is what we wanted to grant. [...]" - #72) Safehold Duo - #90) Tattermunge Duo - #93) Thistledown Duo ) - Source 3 (The Glue - "[...] We ended up using an idea we'd talked about in Lorwyn design, what we call duos. The idea of a duo is that it represents two creatures working together. This allows us to put two creature types on the card, making it attractive to drafters drafting either creature type. [...] This also helps with boosting the as-fan of each creature type.")
Les cinq cartes Barrenton Cragtreads, Wanderbrine Rootcutters, Sootwalkers, Mudbrawler Raiders et Raven's Run Dragoon, de l'édition Shadowmoor, forment un cycle.

Source 1 ( #6) Barrenton Cragtreads - "[...] We felt if each color was allowed to have protection from its enemy color that it could have a subset of that ability." - #54) Mudbrawler Raiders ) - Source 2 ( #65) Raven's Run Dragoon - #84) Sootwalkers - "When evaluating this cycle, remember that it is unblockable by forty percent of the creatures in the environment. While not identical, this percentage is very close to the percentage of decks a landwalker can successfully landwalk against [...]" - #103) Wanderbrine Rootcutters )
Les cinq cartes Watchwing Scarecrow, Wingrattle Scarecrow, Rattleblaze Scarecrow, Blazethorn Scarecrow et Thornwatch Scarecrow, de l'édition Shadowmoor, forment un cycle appelé "Scarecrow".
Chaque créature est associée à une paire de couleurs alliées ; les cartes qui partagent une couleur partagent aussi un élément du nom et une capacité mot-clé associés à cette couleur : %W "watch" et vigilance, %U "wing" et vol, %B "rattle" et persistance, %R "blaze" et célérité et %G "thorn" et flétrissure.
Les cinq cartes Leyline of Sanctity, Leyline of Anticipation, Leyline of the Void, Leyline of Lightning et Leyline of Abundance, bien qu'elles proviennent originellement d'éditions différentes, forment un cycle de Leylines, puisqu'il s'agit des seules Leylines que l'on retrouve dans l'édition Enchanted Tales.
On observe par ailleurs que trois d'entre elles partagent un texte d'ambiance extrait du conte "The Nameless Knight of Summer", qui décrit l'illustration de la carte en question et se conclut par "Still she walked on."
Les trois cartes Parallax Wave, Parallax Tide et Parallax Nexus, de l'édition Nemesis, forment un cycle appelé "Parallax".
La carte Parallax Inhibitor, de la même édition, est une référence à ce cycle de par son nom et son interaction avec les marqueurs "sursis".
Trois de ces cartes sont illustrées par Greg Staples.
Les deux cartes Enervate et Infuse, de l'édition Ice Age, forment une paire ; leur effet correspond respectivement aux parties engagement et dégagement de la carte Twiddle.
Les cinq cartes Benalish Commander, Aeon Chronicler, Roiling Horror, Detritivore et Fungal Behemoth, de l'édition Planar Chaos, forment un cycle.
Les deux cartes Hidden Dragonslayer et Silumgar Assassin, de l'édition Dragons of Tarkir, forment une paire.
Les cinq cartes Enduring Scalelord, Cunning Breezedancer, Ruthless Deathfang, Swift Warkite et Savage Ventmaw, de l'édition Dragons of Tarkir, forment un cycle de dragons bicolores peu communs soutenant chacun un archétype de formats limités.

Source 1 (CUNNING BREEZEDANCER AND FRIENDS) - Source 2 ("Draft, as an example, had a big influence on the uncommon gold cards that model Draft archetypes")

Citation :
Erik Lauer, the head developer, came up with an idea several years back to use a cycle of two-color spells to help define color pairs in Limited. If you take the card early, it will help steer you to what the color combination is up to. [...] For Dragons of Tarkir, we asked, "What if the uncommon multicolor cycle was Dragons?" We wanted Dragons to be central to the gameplay, so why not use them on a component that was all about messaging?

These Dragons are a looser cycle. Each has an effect central to what its color pair is up to in Limited. The one thing they all have in common is they are all relatively strong in Limited and do a lot to help guide drafters.
Les cinq cartes Arashin Sovereign, Pristine Skywise, Necromaster Dragon, Boltwing Marauder et Harbinger of the Hunt, de l'édition Dragons of Tarkir, forment un cycle de dragons.

Source (Multicolor Rare Dragons - "This is another loose Dragon cycle. We wanted a rare cycle of two-color Dragons but we wanted them to each feel unique, so there's almost nothing tying this cycle together other than they are each one of the ally-colored pairs.")
Les cinq cartes Anafenza, the Foremost, Narset, Enlightened Master, Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, Zurgo Helmsmasher et Surrak Dragonclaw, de l'édition Khans of Tarkir, forment un cycle de créatures légendaires tricolores, chacune représentant le khan de son clan.

Source 1 (Prose and Khans) - Source 2 (Defined clans - "Once we had five clans, we had to have a more balanced structure to match the color pie. Shards of Alara focused on three-color shards (a color and its two allies), but we'd never done a wedge-focused set (a color and its two enemies).") - Source 3 (Use of Multicolor - Legendary Wedge Creatures (Mythic Rare) - "[...] The set needs mythic rare warlords, and the clans are each three colors. This cycle of mythic rare legendary creatures was a no-brainer. [...] These were the leaders of each clan.")

Source 1 a écrit :
The design worked as such: each clan was centered in a color and had one ally color and one enemy color, resulting in a tri-color wedge combination. Each clan was also tied to an attribute of the dragon, which the clan tried to emulate. Here's the breakdown:

Abzan
• WBG (centered in white)
• Dragon Attribute: Endurance
• Symbol: Scale of the Dragon
• Khan: Anafenza

Jeskai
• URW (centered in blue)
• Dragon Attribute: Cunning
• Symbol: Eye of the Dragon
• Khan: Narset

Sultai
• BGU (centered in black)
• Dragon Attribute: Ruthlessness
• Symbol: Fang of the Dragon
• Khan: Sidisi

Mardu
• RWB (centered in red)
• Dragon Attribute: Speed
• Symbol: Wing of the Dragon
• Khan: Zurgo

Temur
• GUR (centered in green)
• Dragon Attribute: Savagery
• Symbol: Claw of the Dragon
• Khan: Surrak
Les cinq cartes Abzan Guide, Efreet Weaponmaster, Abomination of Gudul, Ponyback Brigade et Snowhorn Rider, de l'édition Khans of Tarkir, forment un cycle.

Source (Use of Multicolor - Three-Color Morph (Uncommon) - "We wanted each clan to have a morph creature that was in all three colors. Each tries to play into the theme and play pattern of its clan. These creatures are all currently {2}{C}{D}{F}, both in mana cost and morph cost.")
Les cinq cartes Fated Retribution, Fated Infatuation, Fated Return, Fated Conflagration et Fated Intervention, de l'édition Born of the Gods, forment un cycle appelé "Fated -".
Les quatre cartes Air Elemental, Water Elemental, Earth Elemental et Fire Elemental, de l'édition Limited (Alpha), forment un cycle qui fait référence aux quatre éléments.
