Provenance

Where it came from

Killer Bees was originally illustrated by Phil Foglio for the Legends expansion of Magic: The Gathering in 1994, later appearing in the 1995 Fourth Edition base set as card number 254. The card was designed during the early era of the game to embody the flavor of swarm-based insect mechanics, utilizing a green-mana ability that allowed players to sink resources into increasing the creature's power and toughness.

Phil Foglio’s artistic contribution is noted for its whimsical, high-contrast style, which stands out against the more somber fantasy illustrations common in early Magic sets. The design was well-received by players of the time for its versatility as a mana-sink, securing its place as a classic piece of green-aligned creature design within the broader history of the game's evolving mechanics.
