Plague Beetle Black Card in Magic the Gathering

Video Transcript

"MIKE LOPEZ: Hi. I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village, and today we're going to be discussing the black color from "Magic: The Gathering". And now, we're going to discuss the Plague Beetle. Plague Beetle is another one of those utility cards from the basic set, from 10th edition. As we can see over here, it is a creature insect and costs you 1 to play, 1 black specifically to play, and you're getting a 1/1. Now, with most 1/1s they will come with effects that are free effects, because once again the creature is only a 1/1, and this effect is pretty cool, because this creature has swampwalk, which means that this creature can be blocked if the target person or opponent controls a swamp. So, you would play this in a deck in where you know your adversary is playing swamps. So, once again, this is a sideboard utility card that you put into play if you needed some extra damage and your opponent controlled a swamp."
