Provenance

Where it came from

Putrefy was included in the Bloomburrow Commander release in 2024 as part of a thematic expansion centered on anthropomorphic animal adventurers. This iteration of the classic card reflects the set's cozy yet perilous aesthetic, designed to integrate seamlessly into the high-fantasy woodland setting that defines Bloomburrow.

The card features artwork by illustrator Johannes Voss, who utilized the set's soft, painterly visual language to depict the decay inherent in the spell's effect. The design was received as a functional and flavorful inclusion, intended to provide Commander players with reliable removal while adhering to the artistic cohesion of the larger set.
