As a Rare card, it offers a foil finish that distinguishes it from standard printings, appealing to enthusiasts of early 2000s TCG design. Withered Wretch is classified as a Creature — Zombie Cleric with a mana cost of two black mana. Its gameplay utility centers on a versatile activated ability that allows the player to pay one mana to exile a target card from a graveyard. This mechanic provides strategic depth in limited formats, allowing players to manipulate the graveyard pile for future advantage. The card’s black color identity makes it a natural fit for decks focused on reanimation or graveyard disruption strategies. Collectors often seek out Friday Night Magic promotional cards due to their historical significance and limited distribution. The foil treatment of Withered Wretch adds visual interest, making it a desirable addition for those building themed collections or focusing on specific sets from the Magic: The Gathering canon. The card’s identity as a Zombie Cleric also appeals to fans of creature types and the dark, gothic aesthetic prevalent in many Magic expansions.
