Hornet Queen

Description

Hornet Queen, cataloged as card number 250 in the 2023 Tales of Middle-earth Commander subset, stands as a formidable presence in Magic: The Gathering. This seven-mana green Insect creature requires four generic mana alongside three green mana to cast, making it a significant strategic investment for players. Upon entering the battlefield, the card triggers an effect that creates four 1/1 green Insect creature tokens, each possessing both flying and deathtouch abilities. This ability allows collectors and commanders to rapidly expand their board presence, leveraging the swarm mechanics inherent to the Insect subtype. Designed by Oleg Bulakh, this Rare card features a standard layout typical of the set, emphasizing the creature's role within the broader fantasy narrative of the Middle-earth universe. While the Tales of Middle-earth expansion brings a unique thematic flavor to the game, Hornet Queen remains a versatile piece for those interested in tribal strategies or commander formats. Its high mana value and impactful ability make it a notable entry for enthusiasts who appreciate complex interactions and powerful late-game plays. Adding this card to your collection offers a tangible connection to one of the most creative crossover events in the trading card game's history, appealing to fans of both the game mechanics and the literary source material.
