{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|W=1|U=2|B=11|R=1|G=2|C=1|BG=1}} as of ''[[Murders at Karlov Manor]]'' }} {{TOCright}} '''Leech''' is a [[creature type]] used for cards that depict aquatic bloodsucking or carnivorous [[worm]]s, sometimes used by physicians to bleed patients. Leeches prey on, and cling to other creatures; they are parasites. They appear in all colors but primarily in [[black]]. The first creature to bear the type was <c>Land Leeches</c> from ''[[The Dark]]''. Leeches are not to be confused with [[Lich]]es. ==Storyline== ===Homelands=== *The [[sorcery]] <c>Leeches</c> is the only card in ''[[Homelands]]'' to reference [[poison counter]]s. This card removes poison counters, and yet the expansion contains no means for a player to gain poison counters. **[[Mark Rosewater]] hates it, because it can remove poison counters.<ref>{{DailyRef|making-magic/something-wicked-this-way-comes-part-1|Something Wicked This Way Comes, Part 1|[[Mark Rosewater]]|Sunday, September 5, 2010}}</ref> ===Invasion=== *''[[Invasion]]'' had a [[cycle]] of [[rare]] leeches that are aggressively costed for the time but with the drawback that all colored spells of its color that you play cost one additional mana of that color {{-}} <c>Alabaster Leech</c>, <c>Sapphire Leech</c>, <c>Andradite Leech</c>, <c>Ruby Leech</c> and <c>Jade Leech</c>. ==Associated cards== *Leeches are the pets from the <c>Leech Bonder</c>. *<c>Blessing of Leeches</c> is an [[aura]] that grants the ability to [[regenerate]] the enchanted creature, while losing 1 [[life]] each [[upkeep]]. *<c>Mindleech Mass</c> is a creature made of mind-sucking leeches.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/leech-undercity-2005-09-27|Leech of the Undercity|[[Magic Arcana]]|September 27, 2005}}</ref> *Other associated cards are <c>Curse of Leeches</c>, <c>Leechridden Swamp</c>, <c>Leeching Bite</c>, <c>Leeching Licid</c>, <c>Powerleech</c>, and <c>Thoughtleech</c>. ==Trivia== *<c>Leeching Lurker</c> is a Leech [[Horror]]. *<c>Putrid Leech</c> is the only [[multicolored]] Leech. ==References== {{reflist}} {{Creature types|Races}}
