Nurgle's Rot

Description

Numbered 45★ and featuring a distinctive star foil treatment, this card is an Uncommon Enchantment — Aura that adds a strategic layer to gameplay. Designed by Roman Tishenin, the card’s visual presentation complements its mechanical function, making it a desirable addition for collectors who appreciate both art and utility. In terms of gameplay, Nurgle's Rot costs a single black mana to cast and attaches to a creature an opponent controls. When that enchanted creature dies, the card returns to its owner's hand while simultaneously creating a 1/3 black Demon creature token named Plaguebearer of Nurgle. This mechanic allows players to maintain board presence and resource advantage, even when their opponent attempts to remove the threat. The flavor text hints at the dark origin of these tokens, noting that each is formed from the blighted soul of a mortal slain by the rot itself. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often seek out specific subsets for their thematic cohesion and unique design elements. The Warhammer 40,000 Commander subset offers a curated experience that differs from standard sets, focusing on high-impact cards that fit the Commander format's multiplayer dynamics. The star foil variant of Nurgle's Rot is particularly sought after for its shimmering finish, which enhances the card's presence on the table. Whether you are building a themed deck or expanding your collection of Warhammer 40,000 merchandise, this card represents a key piece of the set's identity.
