@d20Insaneously It doesn't work like that.

It is easier to use this in a offensive fashion now that there are two white infect creatures.
I find in interesting that for all Maro's hate, this still made it into ME.

This card should be reprinted, or at least give us a way to remove poison. For all of you complaining that we shouldn't be allowed to remove poison, I cannot count how many times I have read in the articles on this site that magic is one of the best games because if there is a rule, then there is a card that breaks it. That is what makes the game great, so not having a way to remove poison counters is kinda a contradiction to what this games roots are based on, dontcha think?
P.S. Having a platinum angel or something similar gets around that 11 with infect. if you cant lose they can poison all day.

@Kryptnyt
Yes wizards please hire that guy.
That lava dude should be 2 cmc and R T remove 1 to deal 2 Damage.
And Give yourself poision counters for ammo for certain Abilitys//spells. That sounds like a very fun idea. Stallbond is a Bit costly to just use as a hardcoutner with a drawback. Maby make it Counterspell Range {U}{U} with 2 poison counters, that would be beatiful.
And how bought an anti proliferate?
Remove 1 counter of each type from any perms and players of your choosing. That cant hit emblems btw emblems live in commander zones.

Personally, I hate infect. Wither and poisonous were two separate mechanics to begin with, and it worked. I like wither. I like poisonous. Infect? really? We have 2 single drop infect cards, and 9 two drops, 8 of which are standard. And one of those is unblockable! Sure, some die to doom blade. Yeah, you can cancel them. But that's not a defense. It's not a strategy. It's delaying the inevitable. It's only delay because anyone who plays with one infect creature plays an entire deck of them. A blightsteel might be a pain but it dies to revoke existence , but a New Phyrexia fat pack's worth of infect creatures is impossible to defend against. There is no defense, no strategy, no counter. Wizards of the coast, I implore you! Find something to counter poison or infect! And i'm not talking specific mechanic hate. I mean cards like a white "Choose one- Gain 4 life OR remove 2 poison counters" maybe even throw in an entwine cost. ... (see all)

more remove poison.
If I have to lose the game every time a blightsteel colossus hits the table (which it does. In round 5. Every *** time.) with whispersilk cloak (usually the round after, but who the *** cares, he's now attacking and unblockable and 11/11 infect and shroud) for the rest of eternity I have a simple recipie for myself.
No more magic.
The latest powercreep has done nothing but suck the fun out of the game :/
