Scute Swarm

Description

The Scute Swarm card (203s) serves as a notable foil promo release from the 2020 Zendikar Rising Promos set for Magic: The Gathering. This 203s print from the 2020 Zendikar Rising Promos set features a foil finish and is categorized as a Rare card. The card depicts a Creature — Insect with a mana cost of {2}{G} and a mana value of 3. Its type line identifies it as a green Insect with 1/1 power and toughness. Designed by Alex Konstad, the card introduces the Landfall mechanic, which triggers whenever a land you control enters the battlefield. The effect creates a 1/1 green Insect creature token; however, if you control six or more lands, the token becomes a copy of Scute Swarm instead. This scaling potential makes the card strategically interesting for players who build decks centered on land deployment. The flavor text references "Survival rule 782" and quotes a goblin shortcutter named Zurdi, adding narrative depth to the card's identity within the game's lore. As a promo variant, the Scute Swarm 203s foil card appeals to collectors who focus on specific set subsets or seek cards with unique finishes. The Zendikar Rising Promos set offers a distinct chapter in Magic: The Gathering's history, and this card represents a tangible piece of that era. Its foil treatment and promo status elevate its collectibility beyond standard base set cards. The Scute Swarm foil promo is a Rare card from the Zendikar Rising Promos set.
