When a creature has zero or less toughness it is put into its owner's graveyard as a state based effect, it's not a sacrifice or destruction, regenerate won't protect you, Tajuru Preserver won't protect you. Really it's the same type of effect as when a player loses the game for having no life.

Would love to see a concrete ruling, but to the understanding of myself, and that of a former DCI judge present at our pre-releaseSarkhan the Mad WOULD be able to use his ultimate to deal poison counters to an opponent, since Skithityx is technically the one dealing the damage if you take the printed text veeery litterally, awesome combo, would love to build a deck around those two, paired with Assault strobe and possibly splashing blue for Distortion strike and possibly some extra proliferation, you heard it here first!

4/4 Flying Infect for 5 or a 4/4 Flying Infect Haste for 6? What's not to love? Also regenerates. Pure madness

Kind of annoyingly powerful in limited.

A dragon for ONLY 5 CMC (compare to most with 6 to 8), may pay a black to make haste, AND regenerate, is a treausre, a pearl among the sands.
Good thing about him, proliferate AND infect are, they guarantee you the game won't last long.

If Infect punches its way into Standard, it's gonna do so riding on the back of Skittles

this card does win games! but I'm wondering whether an infect deck doesn't kill before having 5 mana...

@Hayw00d0909: You can't add two mana out of two Mox Opal. Not to mention that unless that Swamp was Vault of Whispers, there was no metalcraft either. You may be confusing it with Lotus Petal, maybe.
