And I chump-block your Krosan Cloudscraper, and flip this up. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good memories of this card. This, along with Krosan Cloudscraper of course, epitomize why I love morph. The first game that you play with an opponent, they WILL fall for the above trick and lose in a few subsequent turns to your insect hordes, and that's certainly fun. The second game, though, will be better because you can deploy a Scornful Egotist face down and watch your opponent break off his attack immediately because the morph creature COULD be Broodhatch Nantuko. Morph enables mind games that put Magic at its most fun-to-play. 5/5.

And no one has tried to break this card?

Morph was a really fun mechanic, it'd be awesome if they brought it back.

This was one of the coolest morph cards around. It was usually good to just block the morph guy with your biggest creature. Except with this guy.

Who needs to Banefire your opponent for eleven billion when you can just hit him with it? WoG notwithstanding, but it's still fun to see infinite insect tokens swarm over even a Wall of Denial.
Anyone else bothered by the fact that the "insects" in the illustration are clearly centipedes? It's like that for the rest of the block too...

@NuclearMECCA: Throw a Lure or a Nemesis Mask on it. There, I think I broke it. If you're not satisfied, go do some infinite mana/damage combo and deal a billion damage to it, but it's just not very satisfying to do so when you could just kill your opponent spot on instead...
Spider umbra is extra wicked on this guy: -Can attack into large nasties for either damage or lots of tokens -Can defend against most things (reach) ensuring flying fat doesn't get through -Can defend twice (totem armor)

Too bad it's the wrong color tho.

Snake umbra is also fun and on curve
