Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia

{1}{B}

Legendary Creature — Human Wizard

At the beginning of your end step, if you control no creatures with decayed, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token with decayed. (It can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)

"Rise, my pretty thing. Why rot in the river when you can serve at my bidding?"

Rulings

  • 2021-09-24

    Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.

  • 2021-09-24

    Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.

  • 2021-09-24

    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."

  • 2021-09-24

    Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.
