Hobbit's Sting is an instant spell with a straightforward but flexible effect. Here's how it works:

• When you cast Hobbit's Sting, you choose a target creature.

• The spell then deals damage to the target creature equal to X, where X is the sum of two factors:

  • The number of creatures you control.
  • The number of Food tokens you control.

This means that the more creatures and Food tokens you have on the battlefield, the more damage Hobbit's Sting can deal to the target creature.

The flavor text refers to Aragorn praising Frodo for his effective use of the blade, suggesting that even a Hobbit's weapon can be potent when used skillfully.

Hobbit's Sting can be a versatile removal spell in decks that can generate a significant number of creatures and Food tokens. It allows you to adapt the amount of damage it deals based on your board state, making it potentially quite powerful in the right circumstances.
