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 see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.68.

A deck focused on filling the graveyard with creature cards, such as a Golgari or Sultai graveyard-based deck, would benefit from using Necrotic Wound. This card can be effective in controlling the board by shrinking or removing threats, especially in the mid to late game when the graveyard is likely to be well-stocked. However, there are potentially better options like Fatal Push or Assassin's Trophy that provide more versatile removal, so Necrotic Wound may not always see play in competitive decks but can still be a solid choice in certain strategies.

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.
