Description
Identified by card number 38, this creature belongs to the black mana color and carries the subtype Elemental. Designed by Jaime Jones, the card features a mana cost of {1}{B}{B} and serves as a three-mana investment for the table. As a Rare print, it holds a specific place in the set's distribution hierarchy, appealing to those who track edition milestones and rare pulls. Necroskitter brings a strategic layer to Magic: The Gathering gameplay through its Wither ability, dealing damage in the form of -1/-1 counters rather than removing the creature. Its triggered ability allows the controller to return an opponent's creature with a -1/-1 counter to the battlefield, creating a recursive dynamic that rewards careful board management. For collectors, the Eventide set remains a significant chapter in the game's history, and this card represents the mechanical and artistic direction of that year. Whether you are building a themed deck around graveyard interactions or simply expanding your library of classic Magic: The Gathering cards, the Necroskitter offers both functional depth and nostalgic value. The combination of its unique rules text and its status as a rare pull makes it a compelling addition for enthusiasts of the trading card game.
