I dont know, Im liking Mycoloth better. Amazing card though, and still at least a 4.5

Flavorful... And in certain decks useful.

This card is aweosme, mostly becasue you don't have to tap to get the ants and they are cheap. Not only that, but he can hold herself in a fight, too.
4.0

Gave this a 4.0, only because Mycoloth, IMO, is a better card, however, this card paired with Mycoloth and a bunch of mana accelerators, like Llanowar Elves and Obelisks, and you have a pretty beefy base for a Standard deck. Attack of the spores and ants With options to make it a killer Vintage deck with some more mana creating elves, oh, and maybe a Doubling Season or four?

I use both Ant Queen and Mycoloth in my token deck.
Neither is 'better' than the other, just different.
Mycoloth needs at least 2 creatures sacked to work well in the game. Ant Queen requires you to keep pumping mana into her to get more tokens. Both are excellent cards and both deserve a spot in any green token deck.
They are both good, solid creatures that will win you games, as both have won me games.
Toss in some Epic Struggle, Coat of Arms, Overrun and Biorhythms and dance all over your opponents face.
Ant Queen is a solid 5 star creature in my book....as is Mycoloth.

Ok, so.. here's the things that are awesome about ant queen vs. the bad points.
Pro: It's only 5 mana, all in one color, easy to cast. It can make ants as soon as it hits the field, potentially doing more later in the game. It's still a 5/5. Can combo with naya 5 power matters, can combo with eldrazi monument, and glorious anthem.
Con: No anti removal. Since you have to pay mana for your tokens compared to say mycoloth, your spending mana on tokens that could be used to play another card. There are other powerful 5 - 6 mana token producers, namely mycoloth and oona. No form of anti removal.
If your playing pure green and can go nuts with the mana, it's better than a mycoloth, but in the event you actually need the mana or are tapping out, for example you are playing splash red, then it's less effective. In most cases you're going to want to play a token producer who doesn't cost anything to make it's tokens, the only advantage to being able to pay mana for it is if yo... (see all)
