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
The Festering Newt was released as part of the Jumpstart set in 2020, a product designed specifically for a unique, format-agnostic play experience where players combine two randomized thematic packs to form a deck. This card serves as a thematic component of the Swamp-aligned packs, emphasizing the creature-heavy, graveyard-recursion mechanics often associated with black-aligned cards in Magic: The Gathering.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Christopher Rush, a legendary figure in the game's early history whose work defined much of the visual language of the original sets. His contribution to this specific piece draws on the classic, macabre aesthetic that characterizes many of his creature designs, prioritizing atmospheric dread and a distinct, painterly approach that reflects the card's role as a low-cost, expendable utility creature.
