Insects in Magic are the tiny, teeming life of every world—chitinous scavengers, hive builders, and plagues that refuse to stay dead. They appear most often in Black and Green, embodying decay, adaptation, and the strength of numbers, from swamp cockroaches to forest swarms. Their flavor ranges from mundane pests to monstrous hive mothers.
Typal Insect decks usually play as aggressive or midrange swarms: go wide with cheap creatures, then leverage sacrifice outlets, death triggers, and graveyard recursion to turn loss into advantage. Others build around +1/+1 counters or token generation, grinding opponents down with an ever-replenishing colony. They favor resilience over raw power, winning through attrition and overwhelming board presence.
