Where it came from
Putrefy was first printed in the Ravnica: City of Guilds set in 2005, but this specific iteration was released as part of the Commander 2015 product. Commander 2015 was designed as a series of five preconstructed decks focusing on the Golgari, Izzet, Orzhov, Boros, and Simic color combinations, specifically highlighting the 'Experience' mechanic through legendary creatures. The inclusion of Putrefy in the Golgari-aligned deck, Plunder the Graves, emphasizes the set's graveyard-centric strategy and the tactical versatility required in the multiplayer Commander format.
The artwork for this version was illustrated by Greg Staples, who has contributed extensively to the visual identity of Magic: The Gathering. Staples employed a visceral, dark aesthetic to capture the essence of the Golgari Swarm, the guild associated with decay, rot, and rebirth. His design focuses on the chaotic transformation of matter, reflecting the card's mechanical function of destroying creatures or artifacts. Upon its release, the card remained a staple for black-green decks due to its efficiency as a flexible removal spell.
