Over the years, the imagination of the Magic designers has come up with 133 different creatures that today go under the Insect moniker, representing a large range of arthropods of all forms, sizes, and purposes (the phylum is also covered by their cousins the Spiders, as brilliantly reported by Adam_the_Mentat in his recent article). Since Legends' Carrion Ants, Emerald Dragonfly and Killer Bees, the very first Insects in the game (although Ice Age's Flow of Maggots and Yavimaya Gnats are actually the first creatures to have the word 'Insect' in the type line, before the older ones would be re-categorized during the Grand Creature Type Update in 2007, along with the legendary Legend Xira Arien), Magic has featured all kinds of crawling and swarming little critters, especially in green and black, as those three precursors already prove: real life insects happily dwell into forests and swamps, after all. Insect: one of the largest yet least considered tribes in Magic: The Gathering. T2 you discard 2 cards, one of which is a dredger.I love this game. You skip your discard for the turn (too few cards in hand). At the beginning of their T3, they go to tap the dredger out of existence and you respond by sacrificing the bauble and exiling it. They can't use the tap ability to exile the dredger. Second turn, you cycle Gitaxian Probe, then discard a dredger EOT. They have to tap the Relic on their turn or on our second turn (because they don't get priority during cleanup). You discard a do-nothing card (in cleanup). Probe has the extra benefit of making Cabal Therapy extra strong. Game over.īauble and Probe just speed up the deck by a lot. So you discard and can't cast Bauble or Probe, and they activate Relic. Bauble and Probe do nothing against that if you don't have Phantasma already.

Dude, playing Baubles and Probe does NOT let you play around Relic.
