Hornbeetle Ally
Nessian Hornbeetle is a compact, efficient green play that rewards board development. For a single green and one colorless mana this 2 2 insect arrives ready to chip in early and scale with your larger creatures. Its triggered ability reads cleanly and plays well in shell strategies that create or cheat in big threats because the Hornbeetle gains a permanent boost whenever you start combat holding another creature with power 4 or greater.
The card fits naturally into counters synergies and creature based decks where incremental growth matters. Use it as a filler threat on turn two or as a repeatable counter source once a heavy hitter is on the battlefield. The printed rules text is practical for timing and interaction, and in Near Mint Foundations printings the artwork and borders are crisp which matters to collectors who also plan to play. Add it to decks that value steady board development and you will find small advantages compound into wins. Grab this Near Mint English copy and slot it into your green curve.
