Where it came from
Putrefy was first released in the Ravnica: City of Guilds set in 2005, serving as a signature removal spell for the Golgari Swarm. The card’s design reflects the guild's core philosophy of life and death, offering a versatile solution that can destroy either a creature or an artifact. It has since become a staple of green-black control decks in various formats, valued for its efficiency and thematic alignment with the rot-based mechanics of the plane.
The Strixhaven Mystical Archive version, featuring collector number 63, was released in 2021 as part of a special subset of iconic instants and sorceries from Magic: The Gathering history. This iteration was reimagined with art by Johannes Voss, who adopted the aesthetic of a magical textbook or manuscript specific to the Strixhaven University setting. The artwork was well-received for its elegant, academic stylization, which contrasted the card's grim function with the refined presentation of a scholarly archive.
