Description
The Dimir Spybug, numbered 166 in the Guilds of Ravnica expansion, is a distinctive uncommon creature from Magic: The Gathering's 2018 release. Designed by James Paick, this card represents the blue-black Dimir guild with its Insect subtype and dual-colored mana cost.

Whether you are completing a collection or adding to your favorite guild's roster, the Dimir Spybug provides a solid foundation for understanding the set's themes. Its straightforward yet powerful ability makes it a memorable addition to any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast's catalog.
