Clue: The only reason anybody played Hurricane was because it did direct damage. It was green's only wincon in a format where creatures were so friggin' weak. And you know? Direct damage to players...is red now.
You have nostalgia beer goggles.
Calm down bro. He probably mixed it up with Windstorm. No need to overreact.
Which is Hurricane without the only reason to play it.
My big problem with flying hate is that it produces a bunch of bad designs as well. Think Simoon or Savage Twister. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for these cards to be green. In fact, Simoon isn't.
But seriously, you'd be surprised at the kind of things Plummet-lovers say. It's worth the lulz if nothing else.
arguably, but paying 7 mana for a single 2/2 flying deathtouch creature is insanely underwhelming.
Yeah, and then when they exile the Queen herself, I destroy their D-sphere and get four tokens back. Alternately, I can (and I'll admit it's a little slow) use Invasive Species or Roaring Primadox to bounce her.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Have fun with it as long as bile blight is in standard.
Seems pretty good with convoke though. Only problem is it costs as much as an expensive convoke spell.
wow the old Doom Blade VS creature debate again ?
A creature is always better than a removal.. a removal does NOTHING on its own, it's a reactive card.
People run like what... 6 to 10 removal MAX in their decks... and many decks run 20 and more creatures.... saying that a creature is bad because it dies to removal proves you know nothing about the bases of this game.
you're right, drown in sorrow kills them all too
Opponent plays Supreme Verdict.. QUICK!!! LETS SIDE OUT ALL MY CREATURES....
Quickling can bounce Hornet Queen in response to removal.
Master Biomancer makes all the tokens bigger.
Garruk's Packleader + Master Biomancer means every creature I play draws me a card... hornet queen draws me 5.
Nissa is there to ramp, getting me a Hornet queen or x=7 Genesis Hydra the turn after she comes out.
Of course it gets worse after rotation when I loose the breeding pools and master biomancer, but what do you guys think?
This creature is amazing, its a great Whip target, or any other reanimator spell as a matter of fact, this will see play and give people nightmare. Mark my words.
Annnnnnddd i'm right again !
Hornet Queen is dominating standard right now.. people, just do the right thing and listen to me next time !
