Undergrowth — Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.
rulings
- 2018-10-05If you have no creature cards in your graveyard, the target creature gets -0/-0, and it will still be exiled if it would die this turn.
- 2018-10-05Necrotic Wound's replacement effect will exile the target creature if it would die this turn for any reason, not just immediately after Necrotic Wound resolves.
- 2018-10-05The value of X is determined only as the undergrowth ability resolves. If the number of creature cards in your graveyard changes later in the turn, the target creature is unaffected.
- 2018-10-05Creature cards with other types, such as artifact creature cards, count for undergrowth abilities.
- 2018-10-05Because tokens aren't cards, they never count for undergrowth abilities.
