Gaining the buff each turn is probably too much, but an interesting concept.

"Feeding on Poison" is a strange name for a creature. Sounds more like a spell (and it would be more balanced I think, something like "Target receives +1|+1 for each poisoned creature in play"

Also, when stating the stats +1|+1 is sufficient

Poison Eater?
Ah, what about Toxivore?

Your idea is kind of similar to this one that Kuroaitou made long ago (and it did really well). Searching for it took a while, and it's older than I thought.

As for your idea - it's kind of weird to say 'for each poisoned opponent,' because there's only one. So I'm going to interpret what you mean as 'for each poisoned player.' For an ability that's dynamic every turn, it seems appropriately costed, if not a bit higher than necessary. Part of the cost of this card, making it useful and making use of it, is paid for by getting poison out there in the first place. Sure, the opponent could help you, but that's unreliable. Also, typically an upgrade bonus of +1/+1 doesn't necessitate a cost increase.

If I'm understanding your idea right, for your current text, the correct phrasing would be something like this: Every turn, gain one life and +1/+0 for each poisoned player and poisoned creature you control.

So if that's indeed how you intended your idea to work, then a more appropriate cost might be 6 :death | 6 :death
It is the greatest mystery of all...

For each poisoned opponent or your creatures

I think the important part is opponent or your creatures, which translates to "each creature you or the opponent owns". So simply "each creature"

I remember there was a design thread a while back on brainstorming about mechanics that involved absorbing / transfering poison counters. Its certainly an interesting concept.

so if I'm getting this right, the creature gains +1|+1 each time a player or creature is poisoned correct?

This seems like may be a little too strong in plague / poison based decks.

I'm not so sure the idea of "eating poison" really fits this mechanic. It seems more like it is growing stronger as the amount of poison nearby increases rather than "eating" poison to grow stronger.
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
