Bog Glider cycles for one mana and can sacrifice a land — including Dryad Arbor — to make that cycle free, which is the entire reason it exists. A 2/1 flyer for three is unplayable on rate alone, so you're here exclusively for the zero-mana cycling line.

Bog Glider is a fringe card in Commander, where free cycling has genuine value in storm, reanimator, and graveyard-matters shells that want to churn through the deck fast. In Pauper it sits at common and could theoretically slot into cycling synergy builds, but the competition from cleaner cyclers is stiff. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant — no competitive shell wants this over cheaper or more powerful alternatives.
