Ant Queen

Un-rules Card Interaction

New 17 Nov 2022 Asked by j-waffles 26 Comments

Un-rules question! Let’s say I use Truss to change ant queen to make 5/1 insect tokens. Then I make some insect tokens, which are 5/1s. At the end of turn, ant queen goes back to saying 1/1. But do the tokens I made stay 5/1s?


The tokens that have been created stay 5/1.

Overlay Name Reuse Possibility

New 01 Nov 2021 Asked by simicmimic 30 Comments

Could an overlay card name be the same as another regular card, e.g., a reprinted Ant Queen with the overlay name Hornet Queen?


I do not believe we’d use a name on an existing Magic card as an overlay name.

Mono-white Ant Queen Possibility

New 05 Oct 2021 Asked by zorroaburrito 27 Comments

Would ant queen be in pie for mono-white?


Yes. I can’t speak to the card’s rate.

Insect Queens Possibility

New 18 Feb 2020 Asked by spgod 61 Comments

Hi Mark! Friends and I were talking about insects and I was wondering if we could get more Insect Queens (Ant Queen and Hornet Queen)? P.S. I'm beyond hyped for Unsanctioned, I can't wait to play it😍


The trick is not using the to make green cards we mechanically shouldn’t. I do think an insect queen could be white, especially for a hive colony.

Marchesa's Royalty Status

New 26 Dec 2019 Asked by midwestmtgjudge 79 Comments

I’m confused. Was Marchessa not of the nobility? Is Queen more of an ornamental title? I understand Ant Queen and Hornet Queen not being errata-ed, but it seems weird to me to not add the creature type to creatures that clearly should have it.


Queen Marchesa was not nobility. She gained the throne the old fashioned way, through assassination. : )

Mono-White Gods Discussion

What do you mean White doesn't have an Ant Queen? Both of the mono-white Gods do exactly that.


I think they wanted something with those stats.

White's Token Maker Absence

New 30 Nov 2019 Asked by dunharrow-le-dingue 48 Comments

It seems to me that instead of trying to find a way for white to undermine its weakness (card draw), question marks should be talking about other forms of card advantage. I personally would like to see white have more mana sinks.. So Maro, can you please let us know why white doesn't have an Ant Queen token maker?


It should.
