Rules for this card

  • Behold Rule 701.4 Glossary

    A keyword action that allows a player to choose a permanent they control of a particular quality or reveal a card of that quality from their hand, usually to pay a cost or get an additional effect. See rule 701.4, “Behold.”

  • Blight Rule 701.68 Glossary

    A keyword action. To blight N means to put N -1/-1 counters on a creature you control. See rule 701.68, “Blight.”

Rulings (10)

  • Wizards of the Coast
    The creature you choose to put -1/-1 counters on doesn't have to have enough toughness to survive the process. For example, if you blight 2, you can choose to put the counters on a 1/1 creature you control.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    If a creature has +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it, state-based actions remove the same number of each so that it has only one kind of those counters on it. For example, if a creature has three +1/+1 counters on it and two -1/-1 counters are put on it, state-based actions will remove two of each of those kinds of counters, leaving the creature with just one +1/+1 counter.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Once you've announced that you're casting a spell or activating an ability, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to destroy or otherwise remove your creatures to stop you from blighting as part of paying the cost of that spell or ability.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    All of the -1/-1 counters must be put on a single creature. You can't choose to split them up between multiple creatures.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    If a creature that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner's graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, effects that refer to the counters on that creature when it died will see all of those +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    If a cost to cast a spell includes revealing a card, that card remains revealed from the time the spell is announced until the time it leaves the stack.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    If you can't place -1/-1 counters on any creatures you control (probably because you control no creatures), you can't choose to blight.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    If an effect refers to a "[subtype] card," it refers only to a card that has that subtype. For example, Glen Elendra's Answer creates a Faerie token and features a Faerie in its art, but it isn't a Faerie card.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    If a card in your hand is already revealed (perhaps because it was revealed to pay a cost of a spell that's still on the stack or due to the effect of a card like Telepathy), you may reveal it again to pay the cost of another spell or ability that requires you to reveal a card from your hand.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    If Champion of the Weird is countered or otherwise fails to resolve, the beheld card will remain in exile indefinitely.
