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 released in 2013 as part of the Magic 2014 Core Set, a collection designed to serve as a foundational entry point for new players while balancing evergreen mechanics. The card was conceptualized as a common-rarity creature to provide a mechanical synergy for players focusing on the Black mana color's theme of sacrificing creatures for strategic advantage.
The card’s illustration was created by artist Nils Hamm, whose work is characterized by a distinctively atmospheric and often unsettling aesthetic. Hamm sought to capture the visceral, decaying nature of the creature, utilizing a muted palette and textured lighting to emphasize the 'festering' quality defined by the card's ability to weaken opponents upon its death.
