Plague Stinger

Description

The Plague Stinger, printed as card number 75 in the 2010 Scars of Mirrodin expansion, represents a classic early-game threat for collectors of Magic: The Gathering. As a Common rarity creature with a mana cost of {1}{B}, this card offers a strategic entry point for players building black decks. The card is categorized as a Phyrexian Insect Horror with a power and toughness of 1/1, featuring the influential keywords Flying and Infect. For enthusiasts of the format, the Infect ability allows this creature to deal damage to players in the form of poison counters and to creatures as -1/-1 counters, creating immediate board pressure. The inclusion of Flying ensures it remains difficult to block for many early-game strategies. Collectors often seek out this card to complete their Scars of Mirrodin base sets or to build competitive Modern and Legacy decks that leverage the Phyrexian theme. The artist Ryan Pancoast brought this mechanical horror to life, capturing the essence of the set's dark industrial aesthetic. Whether you are a long-time veteran of the trading card game or a new collector exploring the vast history of Magic: The Gathering, the Plague Stinger serves as a foundational piece for any serious collection focused on this pivotal 2010 release.
