Where it came from
Putrefy was originally introduced in the 2005 Ravnica: City of Guilds expansion as a staple removal spell for the Golgari Swarm. It was designed to reflect the guild's signature mechanics of decay and regrowth, offering versatile utility by destroying either a creature or an artifact. The card quickly became a foundational element in Black-Green decks due to its ability to bypass regeneration, embodying the flavor of the subterranean guild.
The version from the GRN Guild Kit, released in 2018 to celebrate the return to the plane of Ravnica, features updated artwork by Seb McKinnon. McKinnon’s illustration moves away from the visceral decay of the original art, opting instead for a haunting, ethereal aesthetic that aligns with his distinct, dreamlike visual style. The card was well-received by players for both its functional reprint and the evocative new artistic direction it provided for the Golgari identity.
