Deathspore Thallid is a Creature — Zombie Fungus with a mana cost of {1}{B} and a power/toughness of 1/1.

This versatile utility makes it a memorable staple in many decks, reflecting the intricate board states that Magic players enjoy. Illustrated by Randy Elliott, the card captures the eerie, fungal aesthetic of the Zombie Fungus subtype, adding to its collectible charm.
