My playgroup despises Venomous Dragonfly as it is. Things just took a turn for the interesting.
Also, Arachibutyrophobia, Ichneumon Wasps don't possess stings. That's an ovipositor you're describing. You know, for laying eggs. Hymenoptera stings are actually specialized ovipositers.
The moar you know.

If you have some Swarmyard in play, it puts your opponent in a position where they really cannot win. They attack, and loose their best creatures while you regenerate your Insects to do it all again next turn. If they don't attack, well, swing.

Where is the token for this? No Paper token available yet there is a new art token in Modo.
Modo only token sounds like it will be released in another set soon :)

Nothing says 'Stop attacking me' like a cloud of hornets.
Yes this card is primarily defensive however many cards can make it switch to offence (eldrazi monument, overrun, etc).
Also another very important factor is spot removal is VERY ineffective against this. Sure, path or bolt the queen but you still have to deal with my 4 1/1's that can block and kill any of your creatures (With a very few exceptions)
Finally this can be interesting to recur. Revielark is an obivous choice but makeshift manniquin is also a viable and interesting option. Instant hornet queen after the attackers step can easily turn the tide.
The major weaknesses i see here are trample and damage sweepers, since the Queen and her subordinates all have very low toughness.
When all the factors are considered i consider this is a 4/5.

@Arachibutyrophobia
That's not a stinger, it's an ovipositor. It uses it to lay eggs, not sting.

This guy is an immediate board stabilizer should you choose to just leave it up for blocks. How do you attack into an army of flying deathtouchers? Answer: You don't. The only real way to 1 for 1 this card is with sweeper effects and wrath is supposed to be better then a 1-1 trade.
Should you choose to attack it's 6 power in fliers across 5 bodies that nobody wants to block, nothing to scoff at.
And in combination with blink effects, or graveyard recursion, wow.
4/5

Sadly, this dies from 2 Hornet Stings

Flying and Deathtouch is a very good way to say, "Don't attack me." Five creatures with Flying and Deathtouch are an even better way to say it.

Very, very good way to not get attacked by fliers. Or by anything, really. 5 deathtouchers with one spell!
