More Flying Insect Cards

New • 25 Dec 2020 • Asked by evscfa1 • 50 Comments

I know green isn't usually supposed to get flying except the rare case of mono green dragons and insects, but can i request more insect tribal that includes flying? Hornet Queen and Hornet Nest are two of my favorite mono green cards despite being so close to being green breaks, only avoiding it via the loophole of insects being green.

I consider those cards breaks, especially Hornet Queen.

Black Squirrels Controversy

New • 05 Nov 2019 • Asked by khunjund-blog • 62 Comments

Have you said why Squirrels could no longer be black bordered from now on? Overrunning my opponent with 1/1 squirrels doesn't sound any sillier than doing the same with 1/1 mice or bats. Maybe Chatter of the Squirrel is a bit too goofy a card name, but Squirrel Nest seems reasonable to me, especially since Hornet Nest was printed in M15.

I don’t get it, and I’ve been having this fight for many years.

Beloved Unreprintable Cards

New • 02 May 2015 • Asked by grumpi-bear-deactivated20200506 • 30 Comments

Hey mark. I've got a quick question. As I'm Sure most here do... You talk a lot about cards you dislike (e.g. hornet queen, hornet nest, etc.) Are there any cards you really LOVE that you think won't see reprint BC they are too good?

I haven’t talked enough about Doubling Season yet? : )

Banana Token Proposal

New • 01 May 2015 • Asked by metaledgekovacs • 93 Comments

Because you don't like hornet nest, in Un-3 can there be a monkey nest that makes banana tokens when it's dealt damage? Banana tokens can be sacrificed to prevent 1 point of damage (heal). Yummy

You’re asking me to make banana tokens? Welcome to Blogatog! : )

Flying Deathtouch Rarity

New • 05 Dec 2014 • Asked by simicpower • 71 Comments

You say flying deathtouch creatures are in black… currently there are 0 black flying deathtouch creatures in standard and two green flying deathtouch creatures. (counting Hornet Nest)

And that’s why I’m sad.

Color Weaknesses

New • 05 Aug 2014 • Asked by incendiaryspade • 45 Comments

Whenever I play green I think the most annoying keyword in the game is flying, every other color gets good flying and green gets reach, which isn't even relevant as a keyword half the time and is usually on cards that aren't efficient. I feel like flying not being part of green's pie isn't fair. It's such an important keyword every color needs it. Huge fan of Hornet Nest and Hornet Queen.

Colors need weaknesses. The point of a game is to overcome obstacles. To do that, there need to be obstacles.

Green's Token Strategy

New • 01 Aug 2014 • Asked by hansoo22 • 18 Comments

Are multiple small tokens still common in green or are Hornet Queen and Hornet Nest exceptions?

White does more small tokens than green but green is still number two.

Green Flyers Criteria

New • 13 Jul 2014 • Asked by gipsonlens • 10 Comments

I thought it was stated at one point that green was allowed to have flyers on rare occasion. The Hornet Nest and Hornet Queen discussion leads me to believe that it's no longer true? Is there any kind of flyer that's allowed in green?

Green does get a big flyer very infrequently but we should save it for times when a set really needs it for a strong reason, not being used on a random card “just because”.

Color Pie Violations

New • 13 Jul 2014 • Asked by vaultboy-zk • 14 Comments

Now this is going to be a pretty tricky question. With Hornet Nest in mind do you think we've seen the last color pie violation?

Sadly, I don’t think we’ve seen the last of blatant color pie violations. I’m only one man.

New • 03 Jul 2014 • Asked by jahikoi • 82 Comments

Apart from the color pie, is there a reason you dislike green fliers? I am a huge huge fan of hornet queen as well as the new hornet nest card.

Apart from the color pie?! Apart from the rain, why do you get wet when you walk outside? : )
