This card makes me drool. It's almost always going to either result in drawing in a removal spell or a 2/more-for 1/ So excite.

No one is going to want to attack you if you can block with this, that's why its good.

So I saw something about too many snakes on the thread.....
You are welcome.

So: They attack with something huge like Arbor Colossus . You chord for 3. Block. Then you have 6 tokens to chord again :)

Yes dropping this as a surprise blocker is a smart play.

It would certainly be a BEE-zarre play, that's for sure.

Schuesseled: Yeah, you're probably right. I was figuring to kill the queen as well but that's not as big a deal as the five+ together.

When I'm done playing these cards, everyone will know I'm quite the fly guy.

Careful these puns are leading you into a honey trap.

It was at the end of page three when the puns began to make my eyes bleed, but like a moth to a flame I was drawn to them nonetheless.

It's desBEEcaple how effective these puns are getting.
One could almost say it's stingularly annoying.

Nin, the Pain Artist . Make all the bees, draw all the cards. Having Darksteel Plate on this thing sounds hilarious.

These are some impressive puns to be made up on the fly. Although on closer insection, some of them are pretty bad

You know, all these insect puns are beginning to bug me now. Wasp's the point of them?

With this and Wall of Mulch , I'm thinking of revisiting my Defender deck... G/W... possibly Bant.
Until RtR rotates Axebane Guardian
is still a thing.
Wall of Mulch
+ Gift of Immortality
could be crazy card advantage.
This + Gift of Immortality
= a blocker they never want to attack into.
Sylvan Caryatid
is just good.
Possibly Doorkeeper
for an alternate win-con.
Colossus of Akros
for a win-con.

We'll all hive to bee careful with our attacks when this guys is on the board.
July 3, 2014 2:17 p.m.
Pretty sure I have to just call this card "ZZtop" from now on.

@Spootyone: Now you just have to commission an artist to do some alternate art on this guy.

Ohthenoises: Thank the heavens! I was in desperate need of memes in this post and I knew there'd only be one true bringer of them!
I think trentfaris242 hit the nail on the head with the description. The way I see it is this card becomes a bit of a siphon for the opponent's resources to allow for a late game kill via stronger creatures (Polukranos, World Eater , Hornet Queen , etc). If they REALLY cannot answer the card because their only removal is by fighting or by burn, then they simply cannot get through without massively limiting their own source of fuel. I mean, hell, this card with Hornet Queen will probably make Drown in Sorrow a constantly-played removal spell.
