What it does
Menace, deathtouch
Instant and sorcery spells you control have deathtouch. (Any amount of damage they deal to a creature is enough to destroy it.)
Its stench corrodes steel. Its miasma sickens angels. Its finality ends hope.

Where it came from
Pestilent Spirit was released in early 2019 as part of the Ravnica Allegiance set, the second expansion in the third Ravnica block for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It was designed to support the mechanics of the Cult of Rakdos, a guild defined by its chaotic, performance-oriented brand of malice and destruction. Mechanically, the card was crafted to grant the deathtouch ability to other spells, rewarding players who favored direct damage effects.
The artwork was illustrated by Svetlin Velinov, a long-time contributor to the game known for his expressive character designs. Velinov aimed to capture the visceral, dark aesthetic of the Rakdos guild, portraying the Spirit as a manifestation of lethal, magically-infused plague. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players in both Limited and Constructed formats for its efficient synergy with low-cost spells, becoming a staple tool for red-black control strategies.
