OP
way stronger than oty
despite the cost, it's very good
the fact that it's death makes it even better

Strangle is a Good Mechanic however the stats of the creature could be improved and in the process balanced.
0hp was a good choice IMO please keep it as such.

Stangle>Devour
The value of Devour is dependent on the starting hp of the Devouring creature.

I would drop the hp to 3|4. This would allow the cost to drop a bit as well.

I don't really understand why it should poison your opponent.^^

I agree a constrictor does not poison.

What would be a better name for this creature?
Each creature it kills increases its virulent hold over the opponent.

What are you suggesting?  What does this have to do with anything?

Poisoning mechanic is too complicated, you need to at least vaguely mention it in the card without possibly referring to a simpler mechanic that currently exists (the skill "poison", give 1 counter to the opponent)

Plus, you lots of stuff worded wrong. The text should read:
:death :death : Strangle
Kill the target smaller creature (less HP's). Python gains +0/+1. Poison your opponent.

But "Poison your opponent." still needs to be changed. I'd take out the HP gaining, and go with:

:death :death : Strangle
Kill the target smaller creature (less HP's). Poison your opponent depending on the target's HP's.

And remove the "(less HP's)" if necessary.
