What it does
Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. When that creature dies this turn, its controller gets a poison counter.
Sadly, the extent of Gerkk's healing knowledge was "don't pick at it."

Where it came from
Virulent Wound was released in 2011 as part of the Mirrodin Besieged expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Set on the metallic world of Mirrodin, the card reflects the ongoing conflict between the native inhabitants and the encroaching Phyrexian corruption. The set was designed to emphasize the theme of infection, with the card specifically showcasing the flavor of toxic, biological decay spreading across a landscape built of artificial matter.
The artwork was created by illustrator Matt Stewart, who captured the visceral horror of a Phyrexian affliction taking hold. The design focuses on the mechanic of proliferate, representing how the infection accelerates and spreads among vulnerable creatures. Upon its release, the card became a staple in limited play environments, valued for its ability to remove small utility creatures while simultaneously advancing a poison-based strategy.
