Undergrowth is an ability word, introduced in Guilds of Ravnica for the Golgari Swarm, which cares for the number of creature cards in your graveyard.[1][2][3]

Each undergrowth ability is different. They provide scaling effects that may start small, but they can be dominating in the late game.

Rulings

  • Creature cards with other types, such as artifact creature cards, count for undergrowth abilities.
  • Because tokens aren't cards, they never count for undergrowth abilities.

Examples

Example 1

Golgari Raiders {3}{G}
Creature — Elf Warrior
0/0
Haste
Undergrowth — Golgari Raiders enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each creature card in your graveyard.

Example 2

Necrotic Wound {B}
Instant
Undergrowth — Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.
