One or two cycles might have slipped through the cracks. I've tried to make this list as complete as possible. Accordingly, all cards on the below lists have been arranged in that order. Starting from the top and going clockwise, you have white, blue, black, red, and green. If you flip over a Magic card, you'll see the five-color pentagon on back. The color wheel is very important for cycles. Most are linked by gameplay mechanics, while some are linked by the color wheel and flavor. They can be any type of card, including lands and artifacts. Here's the definition I use: A cycle is a group of five related cards where each color is represented by one card in the cycle. Indirectly you might argue whether Serra Angel, Sengir Vampire, or Shivan Dragon is the most powerful, but directly you can compare the uses of Perish in Sixth Edition versus Warthog (obviously Perish way out-powered Warthog. They are the cards that each of the colors share and compare, since each color has a variation on the theme. There's just something really appealing about a set of five cards that have symmetry with one another. Go back and read Mark's article from Monday about the aesthetics of cycles. My call just expedited the process, and I'm thankful that we've gotten to this topic sooner than later.
Coincidently, he had been thinking about making a cycle theme week for. Some weeks ago, I called up Aaron and asked him if I could do an abnormally long article about the cycles of Magic. Here we are, smack in the middle of Cycle Week. Ben This article originally appeared on July 10 and July 17, 2002.

Presented today is a vital and ever-growing list of all the cycles in Magic, updated to include those few I didn't get the first time around, plus the new cycles of Onslaught. My original list spanned two weeks and two columns-and even then I missed a few. The idea was good enough to warrant the dedication of an entire week to these five-of-a-kind cards. The "cycles" theme week came to be because I wanted to do a huge list of every cycle ever in Magic as one of my columns.
