Necroplasm

Description

The Necroplasm is a distinctive Rare creature card from the 2005 Magic: The Gathering expansion, Ravnica: City of Guilds. Identified as card number 98 in the set, this Black one-mana Ooze creature serves as a foundational piece for decks seeking efficient graveyard interaction and board control. With a mana value of three, it offers significant strategic depth relative to its casting cost. Mechanically, the Necroplasm operates through a unique synergy between its upkeep and end step phases. During your upkeep, the creature gains a +1/+1 counter, growing in power and toughness over time. By the end of your turn, it destroys every other creature on the battlefield that shares its current mana value. This creates a dynamic threat that escalates as the game progresses, forcing opponents to react to its increasing presence. Additionally, the card features the Dredge 2 ability, allowing players to mill two cards from their library instead of drawing a card. If this effect is used, the Necroplasm returns from the graveyard to the player's hand, enabling recursive gameplay and consistent resource advantage. Designed by artist rk post, the card embodies the dark, fungal aesthetic characteristic of the Ravnica block's Guildpact era. Collectors often seek out this card for its clever design and its role in the history of Magic's graveyard strategies. Whether building a nostalgic collection or exploring vintage formats, the Necroplasm remains a notable entry in the Ravnica: City of Guilds catalog. Its combination of growth mechanics and graveyard recursion makes it a favorite among players who appreciate complex, evolving threats.
