It of the Horrid Swarm, Creature — eldrazi insect, designed by Jason Felix first released in May, 2020 in the set Eldritch Moon and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
A deck focused on ramping up mana quickly and sacrificing creatures for value, such as a green ramp or sacrifice deck, would benefit from including It of the Horrid Swarm in their strategy. While the emerge cost of 6G can be steep, the ability to create two 1/1 green Insect tokens upon casting can provide immediate board presence. However, there are potentially better cards in the same mana cost range that offer more impactful effects, such as Craterhoof Behemoth for a game-ending boost in power or Avenger of Zendikar for a wide board presence. Ultimately, the inclusion of It of the Horrid Swarm would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, but it may not be a top-tier choice for competitive play.

A creature’s converted mana cost is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner (unless that creature is the back face of a double-faced card, is a melded permanent, or is copying something else; see below). If the mana cost includes , X is considered to be 0. If it’s a single-faced card with no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it’s an animated land, for example), its converted mana cost is 0. Ignore any alternative costs or additional costs (such as kicker) that were paid as the creature was cast.

Once you begin to cast a spell with emerge, no player may take actions until you’re done. Notably, opponents can’t try to remove the creature you wish to sacrifice.

The converted mana cost of a creature spell with emerge isn’t affected by whether its emerge cost is paid. For example, if you cast Elder Deep-Fiend for its emerge cost and sacrifice a creature whose converted mana cost is 3, Elder Deep-Fiend’s converted mana cost remains 8.

You may sacrifice a creature with a converted mana cost of 0, such as a token creature that’s not a copy of another permanent, to cast a spell for its emerge cost. You’ll just pay the full emerge cost with no reduction.
