Interesting. Not many situations where you've got 5 mana and still want two more; but it gets you out of colour screw I guess.

It's tricky, since the correct answer is most often going to be to put a 2/2 flyer into play. I do see what you're doing there with the 5-cost-activations-matters thingy, though, so props for that. Most of these bi-cyclers, though, would seem better, in my mind, if they were more situational. For example, if this creature was a 1/3 or 1/4, I'd be more likely to bicycle. The lizard and the spider seem fine, though. One wants more land in play when playing multiples, the other is a 2/3 reach creature that can be easily trumped in a color that likes land.

Yes, having a cycle of commons with a 5-mana activation from hand (ie hidden) is great for the five-cost-matters theme.

I'm very interested in the directions you're taking with this set. I like it a lot.
