Termagant Swarm

Description

Released in 2022, the Magic: The Gathering Warhammer 40,000 Commander subset brings the grim darkness of the far future to the tabletop. Termagant Swarm, designated as card number 99★, is a rare foil creature that captures the essence of the Tyranid hive mind. Designed by artist Nikola Matkovic, this card serves as a key component for enthusiasts of the crossover between the strategic depth of Magic and the lore of Warhammer 40,000. As a Tyranid creature, Termagant Swarm offers a unique gameplay experience defined by its two distinct abilities. The Ravenous mechanic allows the card to enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the mana value X spent to cast it. If X is five or greater, the controller also draws a card upon entry, providing immediate value. Complementing this is the Death Frenzy ability, which triggers when the creature leaves the battlefield, creating a number of 1/1 green Tyranid creature tokens equal to the creature's power. This synergy rewards players for building larger threats while ensuring a lasting impact even after the main card is removed. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, making Termagant Swarm a standout piece for any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are building a Tyranid-themed deck or seeking to complete the Commander subset, this card represents a significant intersection of gaming history. The combination of iconic characters and strategic mechanics ensures that Termagant Swarm remains a relevant and desirable item for hobbyists who value both narrative depth and competitive utility in their trading card game experiences.
