The Necrobloom

Legendary Creature — Plant

The Necrobloom wants a deck that gets a reward every time it plays a land. It also suits a deck that fills its discard pile and plays cards back out of it.

Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, create a 0/1 green Plant creature token. If you control seven or more lands with different names, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token instead.

Land cards in your graveyard have dredge 2. (You may return a land card from your graveyard to your hand and mill two cards instead of drawing a card.)

Cards That Fit The Necrobloom

All of them fit The Necrobloom's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.Sol RingOpen the full glossary

Wizards of the Coast 7 Jun 2024

Dredge can replace any card draw, not just the one during your draw step. One card draw can't be replaced by multiple dredge abilities.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Jun 2024

If an effect puts a card into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," you're not drawing a card. Dredge can't replace this event.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Jun 2024

If multiple lands enter the battlefield under your control simultaneously, all of those lands are counted. For example, if you sacrifice seven lands while resolving Scapeshift and search your library for seven lands with different names, you'll create seven Zombie tokens.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Jun 2024

If you control multiple lands with the same name, only one of those lands will count toward the seven or more required to create a Zombie. For example, if you control four lands named Forest, two named Plains, and one named Swamp, you control three lands with different names.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Jun 2024

If you're drawing multiple cards, each draw is performed one at a time. For example, if you're instructed to draw two cards and you replace the first draw with a dredge ability, another card with a dredge ability (including one that was put into your graveyard by the first dredge ability) may be used to replace the second draw.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Jun 2024

Once you've announced that you're applying a card's dredge ability to replace a draw, players can't take any action until you've put that card into your hand and put the top cards of your library into your graveyard.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Jun 2024

You can't attempt to use a dredge ability if you don't have enough cards in your library.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

A landfall ability triggers whenever a land you control enters for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability puts a land onto the battlefield under your control.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

Whenever a land you control enters, each landfall ability of the permanents you control will trigger. You can put them   on the stack in any order. The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one to resolve (As a result, you can have those abilities resolve in the order of your choosing.).
