Cycling-matters design usually pays you in cards or counters; this is the rare creature whose payoff is on the attack. The trigger fires on the act of cycling itself, anyone's cycling, not on what gets drawn or cast: each discard-to-draw grants flying and shroud for the turn, turning a static 3/4 into an evasive, untargetable threat for as long as the cycles keep coming. The symmetry is the whole shape. An opponent who cycles is feeding your clock; a deck built around your own cyclers can switch the body on at will, ideally chaining cycles on your turn so the flying and shroud are live during combat. That timing window matters, because the buff lasts only until end of turn: a cycle on an opponent's turn does nothing for your subsequent swing, so the protection is most useful when you supply the trigger yourself before declaring attackers. Flying gets it past most ground blockers but does not make it unblockable; reach and other fliers still answer it. The shroud is the more interesting half, briefly removing it from the reach of targeted removal and bounce in the same turn it commits to the attack. The 3/4 frame is the durable part: large enough to survive board states where its evasion is offline, and resilient against combat trades and sweepers that leave it standing. It asks you to treat card filtering not as smoothing but as ammunition for an attacker that periodically becomes hard to stop.
