Great Fierce Bee
AI draftAI-generated draft analysis — not yet human-reviewed. Treat with healthy skepticism.Limited summary
A solid three-mana flyer that turns trades and sacrifice effects into repeated card selection. It is especially valuable in BR, where expendable Goblins and sacrifice outlets can trigger it reliably.
Roles
Archetypes
Gameplay notes
Deploy it before making trades or activating sacrifice outlets when possible. If a sacrifice also causes an effect that uses the top card of your library, order your triggers so the Bee's scry resolves first; note that the Bee does not trigger from its own death.
Key synergies
Hunter supplies a repeatable sacrifice trigger for the Bee. When sacrificing on your turn, you can stack the triggers so the Bee scries first, then Hunter exiles the card you deliberately left on top.
When another Goblin dies, both cards trigger. By resolving the Bee's scry before The Great Goblin's exile trigger, you can filter away an unwanted top card or leave a useful card to be played from exile.
Trading or sacrificing the Pair both triggers the Bee's scry and produces a sizable Goblin Army, converting the death into board presence plus improved draw quality.
Rampager can sacrifice another creature while attacking, immediately triggering the Bee while growing into a larger threat; its own eventual death also creates an Army, though it does not trigger the Bee if the Bee is no longer present.
Bolg sacrifices a creature and can then kill an opposing creature in a separate event, allowing Great Fierce Bee to scry for each death event while Bolg converts them into removal and amass value.
Easy Pickings can kill one or more opposing one-toughness creatures, triggering Great Fierce Bee's death-based scry and converting the sweeper into additional card selection.
Either mode of Gnashing of Teeth can cause opposing creatures to die and trigger Great Fierce Bee's scry ability, letting the removal also improve your next draw; the sweep mode can generate that value while clearing multiple small creatures.
Head of the Hunt replaces opposing creatures dying with exile, so those creatures do not trigger Great Fierce Bee's scry ability; creatures you control can still die and trigger the Bee normally.
When another nontoken creature dies, both cards trigger; by resolving the Bee's scry first, you can put an undesirable creature from the top of your library on the bottom before Part in Friendship begins revealing.
Destroying a creature while Great Fierce Bee is in play triggers its scry ability, adding card selection to an exchange you already wanted to make.
The creatures sacrificed to recur Gollum trigger Great Fierce Bee's scry ability, adding card selection to each iteration of Gollum's recursion engine.
Azog's enters ability guarantees a death when it has a legal target, triggering Great Fierce Bee to scry whether Azog destroys an opposing creature or converts one of your own creatures into an Army and a card.
Each creature sacrificed to Tom, Bert, and William also triggers Great Fierce Bee to scry 1, improving the quality of the cards drawn by the sacrifice engine.
