NOTES:
   Earth, on its own, has EQ for PC, targeting a specific type of permanent (Pillars/Pends).  Carpenter Ant, targeting only a specific type of permanent (Shields), seems to belong in the same Element.  Think of it as a poor man's Pulvy, without the flexibility offered with a splash of  .

        As to theme: Carpenter Ants, burrowed under the ground, can find any crack in a house and destroy it, given time.  For EtG, your shield is the next best thing.

Putting up a decent table before asking people to "discuss" would be nice.

Sorry, new to this.  I'll edit it.

a card cant have two abilities

when you burrow a creature it has unburrow as an effect. this would need to begin and stay burrowed or have destroying the shield be a side effect of burrowing/unburrowing

Alternatively, it could start off with the ability "Burrow" and gain the new ability once the burrow ability is used.

This is what I had in mind - the ability switches to 2 (Masticate? Chew? Consume?): Destroy target Shield.

That could work, although then it won't be able to unburrow. The card you put up so far looks a bit wonky.
