Creature — InsectGreen manaGreen manaGreen mana

Three green pips on a 0/1 is a strange asking price, and the body explains why: this is a callback to two older green cards that pumped and burned for the same trick, here folded into a single mono-green creature with the cost loaded into the casting. The green-intensive commitment is the tax for putting that whole package onto an evasive flier. By itself it does nothing in combat; it sits in the air, harmless, until you start feeding it. Pour green into it and the flying body grows, turning a chump-blocker into a slow clock or a wall that survives the swing back. When the board stalls or the creature has outlived its usefulness, the sacrifice outlet cashes it in for two damage to anything, including the opponent's face. The design tension is that both activated abilities draw on the same green: every point of pump is mana not spent on next turn's threat, and the sacrifice mode wants you to commit the creature before you have poured too much into a body you are about to throw away. It is a mana sink wearing a creature's clothes, the kind of green design that gives a flooded draw somewhere to spend its surplus rather than passing with lands untapped. The triple-green requirement keeps it locked to decks already deep in the color, never splashed in for the trick.
