Another common meant to mix the Unbound mechanic with the Cycling mechanic.
"When you cycle ~"
Not exactly a meaningful mix, though I wouldn't know what would be more meaningful than the blue creaure you suggested.
Unbound isn't really showing off here. It's the "Cycle to have a card but be vanilla" that's pulling the weight. Any other keyword would work (and better, because how useful is pseudo-vigilance on a 1/1 with no tap ability?)
You're right, it's a bit of a card just to be there really, I.E. one I wouldn't likely ever play but thematically makes sense with the set. As pushed as some of my designs are, even I hold my breath and design a janky common sometimes :P
