Necroskitter is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Wither (This deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters.) Whenever a creature an opponent controls with a -1/-1 counter on it dies, you may return that card to the battlefield under your control.

How it works : Necroskitter

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    It doesn't matter how many -1/-1 counters were on the creature when it was put into a graveyard from the battlefield, as long as it had at least one.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The card returns to the battlefield without any -1/-1 counters on it (unless some other effect causes it to enter with some).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    It doesn't matter whose graveyard the creature is put into. It matters only that an opponent controlled it when it left the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
