About Decimator Beetle
Decimator Beetle, Creature — insect, designed by Adrian Majkrzak first released in Apr, 2017 in the set Amonkhet.
A Golgari (Black-Green) -1/-1 counter synergy deck in Magic: the Gathering would benefit from using Decimator Beetle as it helps to weaken opposing creatures while also potentially bolstering your own. While Decimator Beetle is a solid inclusion in such a deck, a more efficient option could be Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons, which generates -1/-1 counters whenever a creature you control dies, creating a more consistent source of counters. Decimator Beetle could see play in a casual -1/-1 counter themed deck, but for more competitive environments, other cards like Hapatra may be more impactful.
Rules

Decimator Beetle’s second ability can target any creature you control, not just one with a -1/-1 counter on it. It’ll put a -1/-1 counter on the opponent’s creature even if there isn’t one to remove from your creature.
