Bogbrew Witch card art
Bogbrew Witch tutors Festering Newt directly onto the battlefield, turning a five-mana investment into a repeatable engine that drains opponents and wrecks their creatures simultaneously. The cost is real — five mana at sorcery speed on a fragile body — but if the witch survives a turn cycle, the combo assembles itself.

Bogbrew Witch sees essentially zero play in competitive formats — Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Vintage all move too fast for a five-mana creature that does nothing the turn it enters. Commander is the correct home: slower games, 40 life totals, and dedicated tribal or sacrifice synergy decks give the witch the setup time it needs to generate value. In casual Commander pods, the full Bogbrew Witch package can catch opponents off guard, since the combo is obscure enough that many players won't recognize the threat until the drain has already started.

Price Context

Current price

$0.44 bulk tier

At $0.44, Bogbrew Witch is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a full playset for under two dollars. Demand is too narrow for the price to move meaningfully, so buy exactly what you need and don't expect the number to change.
