Attack it's weak point for massive damage?

What did 5-mana say to the opponent's utility creature's face? WHARBLGARBL!

I enjoy the flavor of my opponents Fauna Shaman skulking around some rocks near the edge of an all-out brawl, when suddenly the rock she's hiding behind unfolds into a three-meter insect and devours her. Because of DacenOctavio's post, I imagine it saying something along the lines of "WHARBLGARBL!".

Suddenly, beetle.
In all seriousness though, not half bad. A bit overcosted, but if you topdeck him and have access to, say, Colossal Might, you suddenly have a scary god damned bug.

Feels like a Yu-Gi-Oh card, exactly, RandomLuck!

Good for provoking something the enemy won't block with or making an opening, and is usable is R/G or R/B. Not bad at all.

I don't see what's wrong with this.It can kill an annoying utility or flying creature.

However what would be nice is if it could also untap a creature an opponent controls. Most things you'd want o get rid of are probably attacking you anyway.

All that said, it's a fun card. 4/3pt, haste, dual-color, conditional fight ability, for 5. Anything less and it'd be ridiculous.

Even the color feels like a Yu-Gi-Oh card -- are gold cards usually this yellow? It's hard to believe it's not a reference.

Feels like a Yu-gi-oh card. haha. The name and the way it can directly attack a certain creature.

"I SUMMON GIANT AMBUSH BEETLE IN ATTACK MODE! NOW GO, AND DESTROY HIS VAMPIRE NIGHTHAWK!"

This card if 15 kinds of fun. I wish it was a 4/2 for 1 less mana or at least had trample, but such is life. Becomes reusable removal with Swarmyard!
