That is indeed awesome. I note that your costs are a bit high since you've given the activated ability a twobrid cost: you can cantrip-reanimate for {2}{u}{b}, or get all three effects for just {g}{u}{b}. I'm not sure there's much point to the twobrid cost if you're caring about what was spent on it; just charge a flat {4} and then ask what mana was spent to pay that.

Sadly this is much too wordy to keep the flavour text from the cycle. Most mythics don't have flavour text; trying to get a cycle of flavour texts onto a cycle of mythics might be problematic. You might want to split this into two cycles, like the Treva, the Renewer cycle and the Treva's Attendant cycle: the dragons were too wordy for flavour text so the Invasion design team created another cycle aligned with the dragons, principally to bear the flavour text about them.

I agree.

I'll make another cycle and keep the flavor text there =D

the thing with 2/C is that if I use only hybrid I can't make it as flexible. 3 colours don't work well with 2 colour hybrid mana.

I wasn't suggesting an activation cost of {g/u}{u/b}{b/g}, I was suggesting {4}. Since you can still care about the mana spent to activate it anyway.

oh, really? hmmm that sounds pretty cool.

I'll change it.
