Notes and Rules Information for Necrotic Wound:
- Only the English version of a Magic card receives Oracle updates and errata. View this card in English. (Scryfall note)
- The 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. (2018-10-05)
- Necrotic 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. (2018-10-05)
- If 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. (2018-10-05)
- Creature cards with other types, such as artifact creature cards, count for undergrowth abilities. (2018-10-05)
- Because tokens aren’t cards, they never count for undergrowth abilities. (2018-10-05)
