About Illness in the Ranks

Illness in the Ranks, Enchantment, designed by Nils Hamm first released in Feb, 2013 in the set Gatecrash and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 25.33.

An aggressive black token deck could benefit from using Illness in the Ranks to weaken opposing creature tokens and gain an advantage in combat. While Illness in the Ranks can be effective in specific matchups against token strategies, other cards like Zealous Persecution may be considered better due to their versatility and ability to also boost your own creatures. However, Illness in the Ranks can still see play as a sideboard option in certain metagames.

Rules

01/24/13

If an effect creates a creature token that normally has toughness 1, it will enter the battlefield with toughness 0, be put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action, and then cease to exist. Any abilities that trigger when a creature enters the battlefield or dies will trigger.
