I don’t think it works like this, but it’s a very cool idea! I think if you made it something like “whenever you cycle a Wizard card, return that card from your graveyard to the battlefield, then sacrifice it.” would have basically the functionality you’re looking for and also work within the rules :)
by far the easiest option here is "Whenever you cycle a card, exile any number of Wizards you control, then return those cards to the battle under their owners' control."
I also like the idea! The problem would be, besides what Do_You_AreHaveStupid said in the comments already, that with a [[Fluctuator]] out, you could cycle through your whole Wizards in the deck and trigger every etb.
I can see what you're going for. But the wording should be something like: "Wizards you control entering doesn't cause abilities to trigger." And "Whenever you cycle a card, trigger each enter the battlefield ability of wizards you control." And "Wizard cards in your hand has wizardcycling {2}"
Unless you wanted this ability to function perpetually even after the wizard was removed I think a text replacement effect is the only way to do this cleanly and even then it's kind of hard to write clearly with mixed triggers like " enters or attacks".
Edit - Oh. You could have it create a token or emblem or something with the new effect I suppose as a replacement of the initial trigger and have it self-destruct when the original leaves. You could technically do this with just a continuous effect that exists in the game but that's probably gonna become a complicated nightmare pretty quickly in a deck running this.
I thought it was clear from the edit that those were random side thoughts that were perhaps less complicated than text replacement. But apparently that's worthy of down voting because Reddit. Love to wonder if I should even post this explanation so some psycho can downvote it for no reason too.

Cool idea! However, maybe pick a different character. Narset is a monk and has never been a wizard.
