Provenance

Where it came from

Putrefy was originally introduced in the 2005 Magic: The Gathering set Ravnica: City of Guilds as a signature card for the Golgari Swarm, a faction characterized by themes of life, death, and decomposition. The card was designed as a versatile removal spell that perfectly encapsulates the Golgari philosophy by allowing players to destroy either a creature or an artifact, effectively turning the waste of the battlefield into a tactical advantage.

The version from Ravnica Remastered, collector number 212, serves as a retrospective tribute to the card's enduring utility in various formats. This reprint retains the classic mechanical identity of the original while updated with the high-definition aesthetic standards of modern sets, reflecting the card's legacy as a staple of black-and-green mana strategies since its inception.
