Bedhead Beastie

The whole point of a landcycling creature is that it never asks you to commit to it. A 5/6 with menace for six is a fine curve-topper if you draw it when the board wants one, and a Mountain when you're one land short of your next play, and that dual identity is the entire pitch. Cycling variants that fetch a specific land type have been red's safety valve since the mechanic first tied itself to lands: the card that dies to no flood, because the flood-insurance is stapled to the same piece of cardboard. What tilts this one toward the actual creature more than most is the body it offers when you do keep it. Five power with menace is a real clock, hard to double-block down without trading two bodies for one, and a six-mana beast that pressures the opponent's board math is worth casting rather than always shredding for a land. Most landcyclers are lands that occasionally happen to be creatures; this one is closer to a creature that occasionally happens to be a land, which is the harder balance to strike. The design lives or dies on that toughness: a 5/6 survives the removal and combat trades that a 5/4 wouldn't, and that extra point of toughness is what keeps the option of actually resolving it live rather than reflexive.
