An okay anti-trick card.

Best part of it is that it has flying, so that an opponent just might have nothing to block it with so it'll actually survive combat.

Amazing when playing against blue - unless they counter this, all their counterspells will be dead weight in their hand.

This is a Staple of my Fastbond deck, either you counter this or you lose. He makes wonderful counter bait for that reason. 4/5 from me.

Swarmyard makes combat even more survivable.

Doug Beyer counted the creatures on Xantid Swarm and came up with 725 creatures.

Four of these sideboarded for my Insect deck, lest I should face blue.

It is good if other player/players has a good spell/spells.

Some of you are underestimating this little guy, not only does he prevent trick cards from getting through, he also allows you to get away with whatever you want post-combat, playing against a pesky blue mage? Swing with this guy and you can cast whatever you want without worrying about having it countered, even more amazing is your little bug can get squashed and still serve you in death.

My favorite thing about this guy is that he's a one drop, so he just barely skims under Counterspell.
