Giant Dustwasp⁣ - Planar Chaos⁣ (Common)⁣ [129]

Giant Dustwasp is a 3/3 creature with flying, meaning it can evade most ground-based blockers and deal damage directly to your opponent if they can't produce flying creatures. You have the option to cast it normally for five mana, or you can use its suspend ability by paying {1}{G} and exiling it with four time counters. If you choose to suspend it, it won't enter the battlefield immediately; instead, you'll have to wait for four turns. Each upkeep, you'll remove a counter, and when the last one is gone, you can cast the Dustwasp for free and it will have haste, allowing it to attack right away. This card is useful if you want to play a longer game and are looking to manage your mana efficiently, as you can focus on other plays in the early turns while waiting for the Giant Dustwasp to arrive. However, the downside is that if your opponent can deal with the threats on the board, they might be able to disrupt your plans before the Dustwasp comes out, and you lose the mana spent on suspending it.
