Toxrill, the Corrosive

Description

Toxrill, the Corrosive is a legendary creature from the 2022 Magic: The Gathering Innistrad: Double Feature expansion. Designed by artist Simon Dominic, this Mythic Rare card (number 399) introduces a menacing slug horror that dominates the battlefield through persistent attrition. With a mana value of seven, the creature commands respect with its 7/7 power and toughness, backed by abilities that punish opponents for maintaining their board presence. The card’s mechanics revolve around slime counters, creating a dynamic interaction that escalates throughout the game. At the beginning of each end step, Toxrill places a slime counter on every creature its controller does not own. These counters gradually weaken opposing forces, as creatures suffer -1/-1 for each counter they carry. When a weakened creature eventually dies, Toxrill’s controller is rewarded with a 1/1 black Slug creature token, effectively trading opponent resources for their own army. Beyond its offensive pressure, Toxrill offers strategic depth through its activated ability. By sacrificing a Slug token and paying {U}{B}, players can draw a card, ensuring they maintain hand advantage even as the board state shifts. This synergy between token generation and card draw makes the card a compelling addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. The card’s unique subtype combination of Slug and Horror further distinguishes it within the broader Magic: The Gathering trading card game landscape, offering a distinct flavor that appeals to both casual and competitive players.
