What it does
When this creature dies, target creature an opponent controls gets -1/-1 until end of turn. That creature gets -4/-4 instead if you control a creature named Bogbrew Witch.
Its back bubbles like a witch's cauldron, and it smells just as vile.

Where it came from
Festering Newt was originally introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the 2013 set Magic 2014, and was subsequently reprinted in the 2017 Iconic Masters set. The card was designed as a thematic component of a creature cycle intended to interact with specific tribal synergies, particularly those centered around swamp-dwelling creatures and the Witches of the game's lore. Its design focuses on a 'death trigger' mechanic, which rewards players for sacrificing the creature to fuel larger strategic plays.
The artwork for the Iconic Masters version maintains the grim, swamp-centric aesthetic established by the original illustration. Created to evoke the decay associated with black-aligned magic, the visual direction emphasizes the creature's fragility and its role as a resource rather than a primary combatant. Within the context of the Iconic Masters set—a release designed to celebrate the history of the game by bringing back powerful and nostalgic cards—Festering Newt serves as a functional utility piece that reinforces the set's focus on drafted limited play environments.
