One of the reasons that it is in
was so that it'd have purify as a synergy card. Now you can use this to buff up your own creatures and then suddenly remove all the poison.
That and I really wanted to reuse my art.I don't really see how "abuse" worthy it is. If you use it on your own creature, you pay 3 cards + 5
+ 1 turn for +7 damage. If you use it on the opponent, they gain +7 dmg and 7 poison counters. 7 poison counters is tantamount to a momentum'd 7, and if you compare this to abyss crawler (6 damage), this involves a one turn delay, sacrificing the card, and giving your opponent extra attack. Even with fractal, it is an immense payment. 4
for a single creature.
I think more strategic cards should be added.
