About Dusk Urchins

Dusk Urchins, Creature — ouphe, designed by Darrell Riche first released in May, 2008 in the set Shadowmoor. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 1.77.

Dusk Urchins would be a valuable addition to a deck focused on -1/-1 counter synergies, such as a Golgari or Jund -1/-1 counter deck in Magic: the Gathering. While it has a drawback of losing power and toughness when it attacks or blocks, its ability to draw cards upon death for each -1/-1 counter on it can provide card advantage in the right deck. However, there are potentially better cards like Channeler Initiate or Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons that offer similar effects with additional benefits, making Dusk Urchins a situational choice that may not see widespread play in competitive decks.

Rules

05/01/08

The -1/-1 counter is put on Dusk Urchins during the declare attackers or declare blockers step, whichever is appropriate, so it will be smaller by the time combat damage is dealt. (Note that this is different from how the _Shadowmoor_ card Wicker Warcrawler works.)
