About the scorpion coming into play poisoned: "This creature is on fire." (Denotes the creature coming into play infected.)

So maybe something like: "Pyrotoxin: add X/20 poison damage to each successful attack. X = number of :fire you own. This creature is on fire." (Rounding is assumed.)

Or the softer variant: "Pyrotoxin: add 1 poison damage to each successful attack. This creature catches fire whenever it attacks." ("Catches fire" implying that it is, as previously stated, infected for 1 [fiery] poison damage.) This could allow room for something a little more, as this seems a bit weak compared to the other scorpions. I would suggest that whenever the scorpion makes a successful attack, it (a) poisons the opponent; and (b) is infected for 1 but gets +2|+0 ("catches fire"). It would come onto the field at 0|3, or something similar, and wouldn't catch fire until it's buffed and has made its first successful attack (i.e; deals its poison damage to the opponent). Just my two cents worth.

Also: :fire needs a scorpion. Nice pick :)

What if fire scorpion had this mechanic:

Whenever fire scorpion successfully attacks a player add a poison counter.

Combust venom :fire :fire: At the end of its next successful attack sacrifice fire scorpion it deals damage equal to the number of poison counters that player has. Then consumes the players poison counters.

card changed and poll added.
thanks all for the feedback.

@Agroagro your idea would be better for a poison removing spell, as potion damage is better than bolt or creature damage.

In the poll, fire potion is rage potion right? If os, how do you put that in counters?
It is the greatest mystery of all...

Maybe my wording wasnt clear, I meant for it to do that consume posion damage in addition to the poison damage dealt that turn. So effectively you do double poison damage the turn you use the ability but it consumes the poison counters so you better finish them off that turn or its a waste (unless theyre about to purify).
