# Putrefy Putrefy is a functional reprint of a classic black-green removal spell, made notable by its inclusion in Strixhaven's Mystical Archive—a special subset celebrating iconic spells across Magic's history. Collectors appreciate Archive cards for their distinctive frame treatment and limited print runs compared to regular set releases. The card exists in three variants: standard nonfoil, foil, and etched foil, with the etched version offering a unique textured appearance that appeals to collectors seeking visual distinction. While Putrefy itself isn't mechanically groundbreaking, its Archive printing makes it desirable for those building curated collections of historically significant spells or completing Archive sets.
