Green Direct Damage I can't understand why this is rated so low. I mean despite the cost it is green direct damage.

Heck yes, green direct damage. I'd love to make a deck full of these, Unyaro Bee Sting, Unyaro Bees... and so on.

Yay! Green burn! Also, the artwork is hilarious.

Not exactly in-line with flavor, color-wise...but bees are very Green. So it works. :D 4.5/5 for awesome referencing.

This is one of the worst cards i have ever seen. Shock is so much better its 2 damage for one mana cost or you could use the pwnage bolt A.K.A. Lightning Bolt.

If you really want direct damage that badly, just splash red.

However, the art is hilarious.

Bees! Bees are stinging! Bees are stinging my face!!

Shock and Lightning Bolt are clearly better then this, and if you were looking for green direct damage, try Moonglove Extract.

@OpenSeasonNoobs Well, your name is relevant, because obviously you don't know what the Colour Pie is. Green, as a colour, doesn't do direct damage. Hence, the VERY rare times it does (this and Hornet Sting, IIRC), it's overcosted.

Turn one forest, sol ring
Turn two, forest, OH GOD THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! ARUGHAGAHRERH

AGH NOT THE BEES NOOOOOOO

It's a sorcery that only deals 2 damage for 4 mana. Really? Just because it's green you're going to give it a good rating? Now if it were like Damnation, a black version of Wrath of God with the same mana cost, I would give this one hell of a good rating. But look at it. It's a sorcery, 4 cost, 2 damage. This card is crap in every way crap can be. It's just crap covered up with a green leaf to make you think it might not be crap.

@djbon2112

Color pie is not an argument for the card being good. No one would ever have a use for this in green when you've got Mortal Wound, about 10 "destroy target creature with flying cards to combo with Island of Wak-Wak, Whirlwind, and nearly infinite options on artifact destruction with Liquimetal Coating. Green has a ton of removal options, 4 cost 2 damage sorcery is crap no matter what color it's in. This is a PORTAL CARD, they're pretty much all terrible. This one is just worse than usual.

This, Coils of the Medusa, Dragon Mask, Flailing Ogre, Flint Golem, Hickory Woodlot, Look at Me, I'm the DCI, Meng Huo's Horde, Nalathni Dragon, Ruby Leech, Stasis and Verduran Emissary are cards that were the only card by its illustrator, that I know. Are there any other?

OpenSeasonNoobs and Lord_Ascapelion are right. This card is so bad that if you REALLY want burn in a green deck, you'd be better off just splashing red. Bee Sting was already pretty much completely outclassed by Aeolipile when it was printed. There really is no excuse to use this card.
