My buddy and I played this installment of Duel Decks, and this little item helped win a few games. In the grand scheme, it is pretty weak, but it at least it earns points for style. And it came with this: Hornet! :)

Actually a very nice card if you use it with Grindstation or another card that does a set amount for a sacrifice.

3 for a 1/1 flying with haste that dies at the end of the turn? Not that awesome.

3 to sling -1/-1 at something with Phyrexian Plaguelord? Much better. Still not amazing though. I would have prefered a 0/1 flying without haste for 1.

Combine with Darksteel Forge for tokens that don't go away.

Not excellent but not entirely bad either.

Kinda fun with voltaic key, but otherwise kinda lackluster. Though, it can be pretty good as a blocker when you activate it on an opponent's turn

2.5/5

Almost worse than Rod of Ruin. No, scratch that, it's just worse than Rod of Ruin. And that is saying something.

It's like a sexy, sleek, and mechanical Hornet Sting.


But with tokens at a more expensive,and less efficient rate.

Not terribly great, but it's likely here to chump block all day against one of the dragons, which is at least pretty useful.

Even if you're making the most of it by getting in the damage, getting something for the CitP trigger AND sacrificing the token, it's still kinda slow and weak as an engine piece.

So I think 2.5 is justified.

Dabir is wrong!! Darksteel Forge, Tmpered Steel.

My cannon shoots robotic hornets.
Your argument is invalid.

Seems good with Growing Ranks because you can activate with the enchantment trigger on the stack to copy the 1/1 hasty flyer, but without the drawback. Then you can populate every turn for a free hasty flyer! As mentioned, a buff like tempered steel and the like make a formidable combination.

Remember, you can do this during their turn to get a flying blocker.

This card is like rod of ruin but you can't choose where the damage goes. It's terrible lol

I would say that probably the best thing about this card is that fact that IT SHOOTS BEES AT PEOPLE

IT IS A GUN

THAT SHOOTS BEES AT PEOPLE

I don't think Darksteel Forge would work with this. Darksteel Forge applies to artifacts, and while yes, Hornet Cannon is an artifact, the tokens it creates are simply "Hornet tokens", not "Artifact Hornet tokens". Or would the "hornet tokens" created simply be implied to be artifacts because the parent card that created them was an artifact?

I need a literal Cannon that fires off Hornet tokens to go with my Hornet Cannon that fires off Hornet tokens.
