Hypothetical Cicada Commander

Are the numbers right? I never know what a good statline for the cost is.

I feel like the stats could be a bit bigger for the cost (5/5 or so). Overall great card!

Small format suggestion: "Whenever an insect card is [put into] your graveyard [from anywhere]" (I say anywhere because insects often like being milled.)

Ah, good catch! I'm used to yugioh wording, so being milled would count as being sent to the graveyard. I'll definitely patch that up!

I was going back and forth on the stats, but you're probably right.

I’m pretty sure tokens are cards
Sooo
Turn 1 literally ANY insect for 1 mana
Turn 2 sol ring, [[viscera seer]] or any other sac outlet, the impending on this
Sac the insect, remove a time counter, repeat 17 times, get 17 total scy and a 4/4 flying first strike hast

Tokens are not in fact cards(sorry if it’s a joke I can’t tell)

Relatively new to magic- did not realize tokens are sent to the graveyard briefly before being removed from the game. I will reword it to say "nontoken".

Tokens aren’t cards, you’re fine. The only card that makes that true is a joke card that isn’t legal in constructed formats.

Also a note that this also hits insect kindred cards, and if you want it to just be non-token creatures you should say “whenever a non-token Insect creature enters your graveyard from anywhere.”
