Scute Swarm

Description

This product is the Scute Swarm foil promo from the 2020 Magic Online Promos set, identified by card number 83718. As a rare creature in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, it functions as a 1/1 Insect with a mana cost of {2}{G} and a mana value of 3. The card belongs to the green color identity and was illustrated by Roman Kuteynikov. The card's mechanical identity centers on the Landfall ability. Whenever a land you control enters the battlefield, Scute Swarm triggers to create a 1/1 green Insect creature token. A secondary effect activates if you control six or more lands, changing the token's nature to a copy of Scute Swarm itself. This dual-layered effect makes the card a functional asset in gameplay while maintaining its status as a sought-after promo variant. The combination of the rare rarity tier and the distinctive promo distribution method creates a unique item for those building specialized Magic: The Gathering collections. The card's straightforward creature type and ability set provide a clear example of the game's design philosophy during this period. Owning this card allows enthusiasts to complete specific subsets or add a high-quality foil piece to their display. The 2020 release date anchors it in a specific era of the game's ongoing evolution, making it a relevant addition for modern collectors who appreciate the depth of Magic Online's promotional history.
