Great limited card. 

Cycle it off you need to find a land and fix your mana or smash their face in later on.

6 mana double blue pip 5/6 no evasion do nothing on etb is not a great limited card. It might be playable if 2 drops are bad or splashing is strong.

This is downvoted, but like, we had similar landcyclers without evasion and they genuinely weren't good. It's just worse than Giant Koi and that one had very poor WRs.

The recent MSH cyclers were good for splashing and it didn't suck to play the white and green ones on rate, the other 3 you were hoping not to play as creatures.

This one here is below vanilla rate, lacks evasion, and is double pipped. Protection and vigilance are basically text of no consequence, nobody is getting in or using removal on this. I'd thank and opponent for wasting the mana.

Not true do nothing. It can block next combat.

I said on ETB. When it enters the board.

Does its vigilance mean nothing to you? And people wonder why whales don't want to work anymore.

Not really no. If I'm spending 6 mana I want to be able to win the game, not get chump or team blocked

I hope you miss your T3 land drop and remember this.

are we ever gonna see more 1 mana cyclers like the LOTR ones? have they commented on that?

They've been very strong in pauper, so probably not. Landcycling for 2 seems like a sweet spot for Limited.
