About Yavimaya Ants

Yavimaya Ants, Creature — insect, designed by Pat Lewis first released in Jun, 1996 in the set Alliances and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.33.

This Yavimaya Ants card would be beneficial in a green/red aggro deck that aims to win quickly by overwhelming the opponent with fast, powerful creatures. The trample and haste abilities make it a strong attacker, and the cumulative upkeep cost can be managed effectively with ramp spells or mana acceleration. However, in a competitive setting, there are likely better options available that offer similar or better value without the downside of sacrificing the creature, such as Ghor-Clan Rampager or Questing Beast, making Yavimaya Ants less optimal for play in most scenarios.

Rules

10/01/08

Paying cumulative upkeep is always optional. If it’s not paid, the permanent with cumulative upkeep is sacrificed. Partial payments of the total cumulative upkeep cost can’t be made. For example, if a permanent with “cumulative upkeep ” has three age counters on it when its cumulative upkeep ability triggers, it gets another age counter and then its controller chooses to either pay or sacrifice the permanent.
