Foundry Hornet

Description

The Foundry Hornet, appearing as card number 87 in the 2020 Kaladesh Remastered set, is a black Uncommon creature in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by artist Christopher Moeller, this card represents the Insect type and serves as a key piece for players looking to build synergistic decks within the game's broader ecosystem. As a black creature with a mana cost of {3}{B} and a mana value of 4, the Foundry Hornet offers a balanced power and toughness profile of 2/3, enhanced by the Flying ability. This keyword allows it to evade most blockers, making it a persistent threat in combat. The card's true strength lies in its triggered ability: when it enters the battlefield, if you control any creature with a +1/+1 counter, all creatures your opponents control receive -1/-1 until the end of the turn. This mechanic makes the Foundry Hornet particularly valuable in decks that utilize +1/+1 counter strategies. It does not require complex setup to be effective; the mere presence of a single counter-bearing ally activates its board-wiping potential. For collectors, this card is a notable reprint from the Kaladesh Remastered expansion, which brought popular cards from the original Kaladesh block back into circulation. Collecting cards from Kaladesh Remastered allows enthusiasts to complete set run while accessing powerful mechanics that define modern Magic gameplay. The Foundry Hornet remains a staple for those interested in counter-based archetypes, offering both collector interest and practical utility. Its straightforward design and impactful ability make it a favorite among players who appreciate efficient, conditional removal in their decks.
