Where it came from
Putrid Leech was released in the 2009 Magic: The Gathering set Alara Reborn. As the final set in the Shards of Alara block, Alara Reborn was unique for being the first Magic expansion to consist entirely of multicolored cards. The design team created this card to represent the rot and decay associated with the Jund shard, a plane defined by its survival-of-the-fittest philosophy.
The card was illustrated by Dave Kendall, who utilized a dark, visceral aesthetic to emphasize the creature's parasitic and swamp-dwelling nature. Upon its release, the card gained significant competitive notoriety for its aggressive efficiency; it provided a high power-to-mana-cost ratio that made it a staple in various green-black decks of the era, where players were willing to pay the life cost to secure early board pressure.
