About Necrotic Wound

Necrotic Wound, Instant, designed by Randy Vargas first released in Oct, 2018 in the set Guilds of Ravnica and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.01.

A Golgari graveyard-focused deck would benefit from using Necrotic Wound, as it can provide removal for opposing threats based on the number of creatures in your graveyard. While Necrotic Wound is a solid option for such a deck, other cards like Assassin's Trophy or Abrupt Decay offer more versatile removal options and may be better choices depending on the specific meta. Necrotic Wound could see play as a situational removal spell in a graveyard-centric strategy, but it may not be a staple in every deck that includes black and green.

Rules

10/05/18

Because tokens aren’t cards, they never count for undergrowth abilities.

10/05/18

If you have no creature cards in your graveyard, the target creature gets -0/-0, and it will still be exiled if it would die this turn.

10/05/18

The value of X is determined only as the undergrowth ability resolves. If the number of creature cards in your graveyard changes later in the turn, the target creature is unaffected.
