Transmutation Nexus  Enchantment Whenever a player casts a spell from his or her hand, counter it. Then that player reveals cards from the top of his or her library until a nonland card that shares a card type with the countered spell is revealed. That player casts that card without paying its mana cost, then shuffles the rest into his or her library. I don't usually do wacky random cards like this. But sometimes I do.

Plague of Pests  Creature -- Horror Trample Plague of Pests’s power and toughness are equal to the combined number of Insect, Rat, Spider, and Squirrel creatures you control. Individually, they were nuisances. Together, they were a writhing mass of phobias — a sea of tiny mouths seeking a meal.*/* I don't like that Swarmyard  can't regenerate this but there's no room on the type line for all four creature types. I went with "horror" because I loved the idea that, while it is composed of a horde of tiny creatures, as a single, squirming mass it transcends that and becomes something horrifying. But the lack of interaction with the 'yard still bothers me a bit.

Not just the lack of interaction with 'yard - the fact that it isn't a 1/1 by default also bugs me. P.S. Ha ha... bugs

Scion of the Wild is a 1/1 by default, which is what I assume is what he hinted at.
Everything Mown does is elegant.

This, basically. Seeing how this is a pest itself, I feel that it should count itself in some way and therefore be a 1/1 by default. Mostly for flavour reasons. See Heedless One  .
I do realise there's no elegant way to accomplish this though.

You could just add "insect" to the type line. It's not perfect, but you get the feeling of what it is pretty quick.
One criticism: Squirrels? Really?

The more I think about it, the more I agree that this not being a 1/1 by default is weird. It's not elegant, but consider the change made. One criticism: Squirrels? Really?
It's a Swarmyard homage, so Squirrels had to be there. If that card hadn't existed (In which case I never would have designed my card, since it was inspired by the 'yard), then I probably wouldn't have put Squirrels on there.
