Oracle Text

Deathtouch When this creature enters, you may pay 2B any number of times. When you pay this cost one or more times, put that many +1/+1 counters on this creature, then create twice that many 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens with decayed. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)

Rulings (5)

  • Wizards of the Coast
    Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Decayed represents a static ability and a triggered ability. "Decayed" means "This creature can't block" and "When this creature attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat."
  • Wizards of the Coast
    After you pay the 2B cost one or more times, a second ability triggers. Players may respond to the new ability at that point. As that ability resolves, Tainted Adversary gets its counters and the tokens are created.
