Gameplay

Instant

Undergrowth — Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.

The assassins of the Ochran distill toxins from the remains of their previous victims.

If you have no creature cards in your graveyard, the target creature gets -0/-0, and it will still be exiled if it would die this turn.

2018-10-05wotc

Necrotic Wound's replacement effect will exile the target creature if it would die this turn for any reason, not just immediately after Necrotic Wound resolves.

2018-10-05wotc

The value of X is determined only as the undergrowth ability resolves. If the number of creature cards in your graveyard changes later in the turn, the target creature is unaffected.
