We talked about it afterwards, we said Drain Soul, land at least 2 points of damage and then Drain Soul to finish off.....

That sounds like a good place for a curse, then.
I can take the fun out of anything. It's true; here, look at this spreadsheet.

As an innocent bystander, i alway hate these little "spoilers". My imagination always takes me to a different plain of thinking thus loosing contact with reality. Thank god, i am not an airplade pilot, heavy machinery operator or a brain-surgery doctor :)

Forged in Fire is out, what was the amazing card you guys necroe'd the thread for, like I do now? I can't seem to find something in FiF making poor misunderstood Ichthelid any better  :(

Anyway I jus removed the Insect from my necromancer book after not summoning her in a few consecutive matches. Unless I build him specifically against beastmaster or maybe warlord there seems to be no way for him to proliferate.
All other mages have either
-to few creatures
-creatures who fly or are undead
-creatures or spells that oneshot these insects before their first attack

If one could at least use rouse the beast on them to have a little suprise...And since his coppys need to be in spellbook/graveyard too there is no use in playing only a few in case of some easy to impregnate beasts.

Please help, I love this card for its theme, how can I make them work WITHOUT handycapping myself (by paying so much mana and spellbookpoints on block's, teleport's, one or many much more powerfull creature could have been summoned instead) ?

Edit: "Defend" and "Brace yourself" in FiF would both be great to stay alive long enough to pass the egg but they are "living creature only"
