Carte Magic Necrotic Wound

Necrotic Wound 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

Undergrowth — Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.

How it works : Necrotic Wound

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Necrotic Wound's replacement effect will exile the target creature if it would die this turn for any reason, not just immediately after Necrotic Wound resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Creature cards with other types, such as artifact creature cards, count for undergrowth abilities.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Because tokens aren't cards, they never count for undergrowth abilities.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
