Stinger of Nests

Eigendark Grimoire · Flesh faction · Clone · Summon · Cost 6

The Flesh science answers the question of what a deck does. Stinger of Nests is one of its answers — a unit that enters play bearing specific bindings, specific keywords, and a specific position on the Numogram.

Card Text

No rules text. Stinger of Nests is a pure stat line, which in Eigendark means Buer's office shapes the card's effect entirely through the Goetic binding and the Numogram routing of its cost.

Flesh — Biology · Necromancy

"Life finds a way. Evolve or die. Feed and breed. Consume to grow."

Survival of the fittest. Flesh hackers manipulate evolution, reshape living systems and blur the line between living and dead.

The science of life as process. Genetics, evolution, disease, fertility, hunger, somatic experience. Shub-Niggurath's domain. Jungle neurology, Lemurian mutation, somatic evolution sorcery. Life differentiates into distinct forms; it is the counter-force to entropy.

Flesh / Bio / Body (right) Soma, Carnal, Erotic, Biology, Gene, Blood, Mutation, Breed, Survival, Gross, Cthonic. The science of life as process. Genetics, evolution, disease, fertility, hunger, somatic experience. Shub-Niggurath's domain. Jungle neurology, Lemurian mutation, somatic evolution sorcery.

Bio-Esotericism: the body is sacrament, disease is revelation. Stinger of Nests participates in both.

Cost Tier

Mid-cost plays decide most matches. Stinger of Nests sits in the decisive window.

Goetic Binding: Buer

The digit-sum of cost 6 is 6, binding Buer — one of the 9 Flesh Goetia. Office: Philosophy, logic, and healing herbs. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 6: Networked / Social

Connection, cooperation, mesh. Where entities communicate and form alliances. The zone of collective intelligence, hive minds, and emergent behavior.

Hive-mind territory. Stinger of Nests at Zone 6 is a node in a larger system it did not design.

Playing Stinger of Nests at cost 6 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 6. If the Flesh-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 6, the player gains 6 Souls at Round End.

Xenogod: Shub-Niggurath

The Flesh Apocalypse. Biological life achieves optimization escape velocity — self-modifying organisms out-evolve all control mechanisms, biosphere becomes autonomous mega-organism.

Service of Shub-Niggurath through Flesh-aligned cards like Stinger of Nests accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.

The Body vs Aether Axis

Essence vs embodiment. Discrete organisms vs flowing transmutation. Life differentiates into distinct forms (Flesh); chemistry homogenizes into unity (Chem). The ancient alchemy-vs-biology feud.

Stinger of Nests occupies the Flesh side of this axis. Decks containing Stinger of Nests cannot contain Chem cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Glitch, Chaos.

Card Tribals

Stinger of Nests carries class Clone, race Black-Sun, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Flesh deck running multiple Clone units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Bio-Esotericism

Stinger of Nests is a concrete instance of Bio-Esotericism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Stinger of Nests to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

The horror is not dark. The horror is procedural. A Goetic demon assigned by a Python function that computes the digit-sum of the mana cost.

Matches that feature Stinger of Nests update its metadata. The archive remembers.
