Description
Necrobite, numbered 77, is a fundamental black instant card from the 2014 Magic: The Gathering Born of the Gods expansion. Designed by Igor Kieryluk, this card offers a dual-purpose effect that appeals to strategic players and set completists alike. In gameplay, Necrobite grants a target creature deathtouch until the end of the turn, ensuring any damage it deals is lethal. Additionally, it provides regeneration, allowing the creature to survive destruction by tapping, removing itself from combat, and healing all damage. This combination makes it a flexible tool in black-heavy decks, reflecting the thematic elements of Pharika’s servitude found in the set's flavor text. For collectors, adding this card to a Magic: The Gathering collection is an excellent way to complete the Born of the Gods base set. Its common rarity ensures accessibility while maintaining historical significance within the expansion. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a comprehensive library of MTG cards, Necrobite represents a key mechanical piece of the Theros block's design. The card’s straightforward yet potent abilities highlight the innovative mechanics introduced during this era of the trading card game.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Target creature gains deathtouch until end of turn. Regenerate it. (The next time that creature would be destroyed this turn, instead tap it, remove it from combat, and heal all damage on it.)
A servant of Pharika must know countless balms that heal and soothe—and countless more that do the opposite.
