What it does
Undying (When this creature dies, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Without a mind, it doesn't fear death. Without a soul, it doesn't mind killing.

Where it came from
Butcher Ghoul was released in the 2012 Magic: The Gathering set Avacyn Restored. The set was designed to center on the return of the archangel Avacyn to the plane of Innistrad, a Gothic horror-inspired world. Mechanically, the card utilizes the undying keyword, which reflects the persistent and relentless nature of the undead creatures inhabiting the setting, allowing the creature to return to the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter after it dies.
The card’s artwork was provided by Christopher Moeller, a longtime contributor to the game known for his painterly, visceral style. Moeller’s illustration depicts the ghoul mid-transformation, capturing a sense of decay and brutal utility that aligns with the set's dark, atmospheric aesthetic. It has served as a staple common in limited formats due to its durability and ability to trade effectively against opposing threats.
