Hornet Queen: Swarm and Stick
Hornet Queen is a compact engine that converts a single cast into a flying board presence and a lethal deterrent. The printed card grants Flying and deathtouch to the 2 2 body and on entry it creates four 1 1 green Insect tokens that also have Flying and deathtouch. That combination pressures opponents in the air while making trades costly, which fits cleanly into token synergies and sacrifice outlets.
In Commander builds centered on combat control or token value this card can be a turn around play. Use it to close out races, protect a planeswalker, or fuel effects that care about creature enters the battlefield. Its three green pips push it into mid to late game plays yet the immediate board swing justifies the cost for experienced pilots who plan around removal and tempo.
