Does cycling count as death in Magic The Gathering?

Best Answer

Absolutely not. Cycling is just a fancy way of saying 'I don't need this card right now, let's see what else I've got.' It's discarding, not dying.

Nope, cycling doesn't count as death in MTG. When you cycle a card, you're basically just discarding it to draw a new one. It's more like sending the card on a vacation rather than to the graveyard because of combat or destruction effects. So, no death triggers will happen!

Nah, cycling is just discarding. It's like the card never saw the battlefield, so it definitely doesn't count as dying.
