About Smoldering Butcher

Smoldering Butcher, Creature — elemental warrior, designed by Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai first released in Jul, 2008 in the set Eventide. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.75.

This card, Smoldering Butcher, would be a great fit for a black-based aggressive deck looking to control the board with -1/-1 counters. However, in competitive play, there are more efficient options like Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons, which generates more value with -1/-1 counters and synergizes well with other cards. While Smoldering Butcher may not see as much play due to its higher cost and limited impact, it can still be a fun addition to casual decks focused on -1/-1 counter strategies.
