When ants die, they give off a pheromone that allows other ants to detect them and move them to the grave yard.  If you spray a living ant with the pheromone, hilarity ensues.

"Undead? Ant" 4 :death

1 :death  Pheromone.  Trigger death effects.   Undead? Ant loses 1 HP.

I have an idea. I can't think of any ant powers now, but you need another creature producing creature, called Ant Queen (Element: Earth), and a Fate Egg style creature called Larvae. Ant Queen produces Larvae (Element: Other, 0|2) for whatever quanta, which evolve one turn after they are summoned into a random ant creature. The Time Ant might have the ability to deevolve into a Larvae (hmmm). Also, another Ant card: Anthill (Randomly burrow three of your unburrowed ants).
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

The Darkness Ants could have the ability that when they burrow, they do not get a reduction in attack. That would be amusing. Kind of like, Burrow: Level 2.

The Air ants will definitely be mating ants. If you have more than 2 on the field, Ant Queen's ability cost is reduced by 1.
