Description
The Battlefly Swarm foil card from Magic: The Gathering's 2022 Dominaria United expansion offers collectors a distinct look at the Phyrexian threat. As card number 81 in the DMU set, this Common creature features the type line Creature — Phyrexian Insect. With a mana cost of {B} and a power/toughness of 1/1, it provides a versatile option for mono-black decks. The card’s ability allows players to grant it deathtouch until end of turn for a single black mana, synergizing well with its innate Flying ability. This combination makes the creature effective for early-game aggression or removal strategies. The foil treatment adds a premium aesthetic appeal, distinguishing it from the standard nonfoil version and enhancing its visual impact on the tabletop. Collectors often seek out specific cards like the Battlefly Swarm foil to complete their Dominaria United collections or to appreciate the unique art style of the set. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your Magic: The Gathering trading card game library, this card represents a solid addition to any Phyrexian-themed strategy. The Dominaria United release remains a significant chapter in the game's history, and owning individual cards from this era allows enthusiasts to engage with the lore and mechanics in a tangible way.
