Official rulings

  1. Wizardcycling is a form of cycling. Any ability that triggers on a card being cycled also triggers on Wizardcycling this card. Any ability that stops a cycling ability from being activated also stops Wizardcycling from being activated. (2009-02-01)
  2. Unlike the normal cycling ability, Wizardcycling doesn't allow you to draw a card. Instead, it lets you search your library for a Wizard card. After you find a Wizard card in your library, you reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library. (2009-02-01)
  3. You can choose to find any card with the Wizard creature type, even if it isn't a creature card. This includes, for example, kindred cards with the Changeling ability. You can also choose not to find a card, even if there is a Wizard card in your library. (2009-02-01)
  4. Wizardcycling is an activated ability. Effects that interact with activated abilities (such as Stifle or Rings of Brighthearth) will interact with Wizardcycling. Effects that interact with spells (such as Remove Soul or Faerie Tauntings) will not. (2009-02-01)
