Description
Stinging Licid, designated as card number 91, is an uncommon blue creature from the Magic: The Gathering Tempest expansion released in 1997. Designed by Paolo Parente, this card introduces a distinctive mechanic that allows it to transition from a standalone creature into an Aura enchantment attached to another creature. This flexibility makes it a notable piece for collectors interested in the strategic depth of early Magic designs. The card’s ability lets players pay mana and tap to detach Stinging Licid’s creature status, binding it to a target creature. While attached, it deals two damage to the enchanted creature’s controller whenever that creature taps. This interaction highlights the creative engineering present in the Tempest set, appealing to those who appreciate complex card interactions. For collectors, acquiring the Tempest Stinging Licid adds a functional and thematic element to their Magic: The Gathering trading card game card collection. Whether used for deck building or as a display piece, this card represents a key part of Magic's early history.
