About Gore Vassal

Gore Vassal, Creature — phyrexian dog, designed by Matt Cavotta first released in Feb, 2011 in the set Mirrodin Besieged. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.06.

This card, Gore Vassal, could be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on weakening enemy creatures and disrupting their board state. However, there are more efficient cards like Path to Exile or Fatal Push that offer better removal options without the drawback of potentially regenerating the target creature. Gore Vassal may not see much play in competitive decks due to its limitations compared to other removal spells available in the Magic: The Gathering card pool.

Rules

06/01/11

Let’s say you activate Gore Vassal’s ability targeting a creature with 3 toughness and 2 damage marked on it. The regeneration shield will be created just before the creature is destroyed for having damage marked on it equal to or greater than its toughness. The creature will then regenerate. That is, all damage will be removed from it and it will become tapped; any counters on the creature, including the -1/-1 counter put on by this ability, remain.

06/01/11

You can activate Gore Vassal’s ability targeting itself, but it won’t get a -1/-1 counter or regenerate because it’ll be an illegal target when the ability resolves.
