Les cinq cartes
Catapult Master,
Supreme Inquisitor,
Gravespawn Sovereign,
Skirk Fire Marshal et
Voice of the Woods, de l'édition
Onslaught, forment un cycle, chacune représentant un
"Lord" (voir
cette anecdote) qui en engageant cinq créatures de sa tribu respective (Soldier, Wizard, Zombie, Goblin et Elf), permet d'obtenir un effet "puissant".
La carte
Ancestor's Prophet partage les mêmes caractéristiques à l'exception du coût de mana, ne faisant figurer qu'un seul mana coloré au lieu de deux.
Source 1 (Ancestor's Prophet Cycle - "Patron Wizard turns each wizard you control into a Force Spike . I was very happy with how the cycle came out. But then we came to Onslaught and we needed new lord designs. [...] Luckily, someone [...] came up with the idea of taking the Patron Wizard cycle and pushing it. Rather than every creature getting a small effect, you tapped many creatures to get a single large effect. I was very happy with how their design turned out. [...] One last bit of trivia: this one of a tiny handful of six-card cycles in Magic.") -
