Great for EDH, doesn't seem constructed viable. 6 mana, weak body, vanilla creatures, and have to have numerous creatures in your graveyard to make it even worthwhile. Second ability isn't bad, but just seems more destined for EDH than anything.
Bummer. I think her not being able to sacrifice itself is gonna be a killer. If she could sac herself then be returned with Journey to Eternity in Standard that could be enough.
I have a Standard deck that can "afford" to pay the 6CMC but there's some pretty stiff competition when the cost is that high and it's only a 2/3 body.
If my field is flush with disposable creatures, I'd have to be in a dire predicament to want to get rid of them to try and dig through my deck for a better card. What would I be digging for?
I think I'll wait to see what else there is before I pass judgement.
I mean, this is definitely a build-around. If you're getting 3 or fewer insects, she's overcosted, but she's also capable of producing 10+ insects, at which you're getting a deal. Takes work but don't dismiss it because the roof is pretty high.

I can't see it in Standard unless it's part of some super fringe undergrowth/token deck. I mean, she has potential to spit out a ton of tokens. The problem is the pieces don't fit together to make her work.
Oof. Not big on this one and I'm talking commander. 6 cmc for a commander is still moderately expensive contrary to popular belief. I could totally overlook that if her abilities were cool and interesting but she has two really boring, generic abilities.

Well this Is really good in Karador, since you already want to have a bucnh of crearures for karador its undergrown will be big enough, it is also a reveilark Target, AND with the proper setup can go infinite with food Chaín.
Sure, there is a chance of spending $4 on a booster and getting the Mythic Rare $30 super card. There is also a chance of surviving putting your tongue in a light socket.

Still convinced the guy on Beseech the Queen is wearing a Mitra-type hat. Wake up sheeple!

This card isn't constructed material, but seems like a pretty cool option for a commander deck with a dredge/selfmill theme.
While I don’t necessarily care I can already hear all the vorthoses cries about making new characters blah blah blah.

For the great Miss Y!
GENERATION 12: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your signature and add 1 to the generation number. It's a social experiment.

As someone who has such a commander deck I'm still meh on this card.

Might be better than Spider Spawning in certain situations.
The worst part of guild mechanics is there's no chance for a Jump-Start Zombify.
