This card, Startling Development, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on tempo and creature transformation strategies, especially in a blue-based deck with a focus on manipulating creature types. While it offers versatility with its cycling ability, there are potentially better options like Polymorph or Rapid Hybridization that provide more impactful effects. However, Startling Development could see play in decks looking for additional ways to disrupt the opponent's board state or surprise them with unexpected threats.
