Yay for the first ever cumulative upkeep card, a couple of years before the mechanic was introduced! I used to want the artwork on my bedroom ceiling. Seriously.

You have to love how cumulative upkeep cleaned this card up, and why is cumlative upkeep censored...

Oh man my card got greasy from putting my Lays all over it. Even messier in England.

I miss the cumulative upkeep this card used to have...i like chips more being treated as age counters than being treated as wind counter like on the Chronicles version. Yet keeping the oracle wording as close as possible to the latest printing is likely the best thing Wizards could do... (In the Power-Level-Errata-B-Gone article (http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/af127) they used to like the Oracle having cumulative upkeep.)

you dont get it weretarrasque, this continues to increase, 1 point now, 4 points later, it adds up, and in a mana ramp you basicly say, you win, if you are worried about the backlash, there are cards that will take care of it, Purity and mark of asylum will keep you and your creatures safe, while your opponent is slowly drained away, it is like a volcanic fallout every turn

When you pay the cumulative upkeep of Cyclone it deals that much damage to each creature with flying and each player.
Strait upkeep costs are not horrible compared to cumulative upkeeps
