About The Wretched
The Wretched, Creature — demon, designed by Christopher Rush first released in Jun, 1994 in the set Legends and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.83.
This card, The Wretched, could be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on manipulating the battlefield and gaining advantage through creature control. While its ability to gain control of blocking creatures can be powerful, it may be situational and require specific conditions to be effective. In terms of better alternatives, cards like Control Magic or Mind Control offer more consistent and versatile control options, making them potentially stronger choices for competitive play. However, The Wretched could still see play in more casual or themed decks for its unique and flavorful effect.
Rules
10/01/09
If The Wretched leaves the battlefield, you no longer control it, so the duration of its control-change effect ends.
10/01/09
Once the ability resolves, it doesn’t care whether the permanents you gained control of remain creatures, only that they remain on the battlefield.
05/01/09
If The Wretched itself regenerated during combat, then it will have been removed from combat. Since it is no longer in combat, there cannot be any creatures blocking it, which means you won’t be able to gain control of any creatures.
05/01/09
The ability grants you control of all creatures that are blocking it as the ability resolves. This will include any creatures that were put onto the battlefield blocking it.
