­Ashna Piker now is also a {1}{r} with first strike, but we need prowess somewhere anyway.

First strike => Prowess; +1/+0 => +1/+1

Cycling trigger now prallels prowess.

So this sort of has a double opportunity to be pumped really, wether you cast the spell or cycle it. Kind of cool.

Nice double pump. Cheap cantrips plus cheap cyclers could make this a beast in Limited.

Suppressed reminder text

With prowess fading out, it's time to consider removing it from sets. This card could read "Whenever you cast a noncreature spell or cycle a card" and not change functionally.

Yea, I'd want to replace this with Yaados Experiment, as a cycling enabled uncommon instead. Another inspired uncommon cycling-enabled creature idea along this line of mine is Evolving Experiment. I also have some in the other colors, but they're a little more wonky designs I think: ((C101544)) and ((C101514)). Don't think I made a white one.

Otherwise, I wonder what you might think about my uncommon cycle of one-mana "cycling enabled" or "cycling matters" instants: ((C101510)), ((C101509)), Fatal Smite, ((C101483)) and Experimental Growth. The only odd one out is ((C101483)), as it doesn't continue the "2 to 4" theme.

I'd also wonder what you think, based on my branch and our recent commentary, what you think about the idea of avoiding the "redundant" style of cycling card. That means cards like Spark of Passion are out, which opens up space for more interesting cycling designs that do something different when you cycle them.
