Um, I think that would be a Deadly Insect.

If you know what a Grub is, then you'd know that Deadly Grub makes a deadly beetle!

Yes, I know that, but "Deadly Insect" is vague. I'm clarifying that grubs become beetles (while maggots become flies and caterpillars become butterflies.)

So flavourful! Now Deadly Insect has an origin story.

I love the flavor of this card, but I wish the Green Worm had regen, or trample, or something as opposed to shroud. The 6/1 is easily chump-blocked.

Still though, a really cool card that I frequently consider when making B/G decks.

3.5/5

Is this supposed to be an inverse Penumbra creature or I'm just imagining it?

This+Vampire Hexmage, free 6/1 shroud on turn 2 or 3 if done right...just need to give it haste and trample, and you've got a black Ball Lightning

You could use Cryptoplasm to get a Grub without tokens quite quickly to get your insect, possibly two. The problem is... the insect is not that good.

Not a lot of black cards interact with counters, but you can play him with Hex Parasite and Aether Snap.

Not a bad card, but it's a bit weak. Maybe if they had trample...

Deadly Grub: "Hey, I'm grub!" *dies*

Deadly Insect: "I'm not so grub!"
