Whenever you cycle another card, this creature deals 1 damage to each opponent. Cycling {1} ({1}, Discard this card: Draw a card.)

Rulings (4)

Apr 17, 2020 · Triggered abilities from cycling a card and the cycling ability itself aren’t spells. Effects that interact with spells (such as that of Cancel) won’t affect them.

Apr 17, 2020 · You can cycle a card even if it has a triggered ability from cycling that won’t have a legal target. This is because the cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. This also means that if either ability is countered (with Disallow, for example), the other ability will still resolve.

Apr 17, 2020 · Some cards with cycling have an ability that triggers when you cycle them, and some cards have an ability that triggers whenever you cycle any card. These triggered abilities resolve before you draw from the cycling ability.

Apr 17, 2020 · In a Two-Headed Giant game, Drannith Stinger’s first ability causes the opposing team to lose 2 life.
