So, this does to Scar what Screeching Silcaw does to Storm Crow.
This card is gold for all kinds of infect. Solid weenie remover that also deals poison. What more could you want for one mana?
5/5 for great function and even better flavour text.^^

Shouldn't the wording for this card be:

"IF that creature is put into a graveyard this turn, its controller gets a poison counter."

Or alternatively:

"When that creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, its controller gets a poison counter." (Don't like this version as it creates an invisible trigger which players must remember)

As is, the wording seems to imply that the creature WILL go to the graveyard as a result of this spell regardless of size or other factors.

Poison Decks will love this card.

Good luck not confusing this particular -1/-1 counter with all the others such a deck would deliver! I kind of want to play Fate Transfer with it just to confuse people.

if I cast 2 of these on a 2/2 creature to kill it, will it's controller get 1 or 2 poison counters?

@Drixy: Should get 2 poison counters because there are two separate abilities in that scenario that give the player a poison counter upon the creature hitting the graveyard, one from each copy of virulent wound.
