5 most recent
  • Jan 1, 2011 A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.
  • Jan 1, 2011 Activating Tangle Angler’s second ability doesn’t force you to attack with Tangle Angler that turn. If it doesn’t attack, the targeted creature is free to block whichever creature its controller chooses, or block no creatures at all.
  • Jan 1, 2011 Damage from a source with infect affects planeswalkers normally.
  • Jan 1, 2011 Damage from a source with infect is damage in all respects. If the source with infect also has lifelink, damage dealt by that source also causes its controller to gain that much life. Damage from a source with infect can be prevented or redirected. Abilities that trigger on damage being dealt will trigger if a source with infect deals damage, if appropriate.
  • Jan 1, 2011 If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a player is prevented, that player doesn’t get poison counters. If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a creature is prevented, that creature doesn’t get -1/-1 counters.
