5 out of 5 because it's counter spell with a better casting cost....
Only works in an infect deck... But if that's what you're running... This is better than the original counter spell...

This card represents a great missed opportunity, one which I hope they see before we next visit the Phyrexians.
Even at one poison counter you are still poisoned. Even if many cards existed which could remove it (slowly, because I still intend to kill them with it), it only takes one counter to flip that switch on again. In a world with more cards like Corrupted Resolve, you retain that very strong incentive to avoid getting hit in the first place (which was the core intent for infect). Additional counters only serve to make curing the infection that much more difficult. Be violated by its mark just once and you are still in a world of hurt.
Had they focused on playing to poison's unique strength seen here instead of following an irrational obsession with making it irreversible (it already kills you twice as fast, why insult poison's genius by forcing a weaker surrounding environment?), it might not have been such a polarizing mechanic. It might have actually been somet... (see all)

In Mirrodin, you get poison counters. But in Soviet Phyrexia, poison counters you!
