What it does
Enchant creature
When enchanted creature dies, that creature's controller loses life equal to its toughness.
The consuming undeath of Grixis terrifies the survivors of Vithia, but its fauna is just as fearsome.

Where it came from
Banewasp Affliction was released in 2008 as part of the Shards of Alara expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to fit within the Jund shard, a plane characterized by a harsh, survival-of-the-fittest environment defined by the colors black, red, and green. In the context of the set's mechanics, the card serves as a thematic representation of the predatory nature of Jund's ecosystem, specifically targeting creatures with a parasitic death trigger.
The artwork for the card was created by illustrator Jesper Ejsing, who captured the grotesque and menacing aesthetic synonymous with the Jund environment. His composition focuses on the literal interpretation of the affliction, showcasing the insectile threat that characterizes this particular cycle of removal spells. Upon release, the card was viewed primarily as a functional limited-environment tool, valued more for its utility in draft and sealed play than for constructed tournament viability.
