Anointer | Greater Anointer

[OdinVanguard]

Considering its limited range of permanents that it can be applied to, I think it will be a bit UP... If it could affect shields somehow... maybe something like:
" Anoint: Target permanent is "plagued" and inflicts 1 poison on owner when used (50% chance for shields)"

E.g. if it is applied to a shield, it would only have a % chance to trigger when the shield blocks... (50% is just for illustrative purpose, it would probably need to be a bit lower)

Am I the only one who thinks Anointer doesn't sound like ?

Well, i explained the name in notes.
However i could still call it Plaguebearer or something like that, but i liked the idea.
I think that is more a cultural matter, since in Italian we recognize the medieval belief of the Anointers ("Untori" in italian), and it sounds really tied to the theme of plague spreading.

I understand your suggestion, but i'd like to keep only one behavior, not one for permanents with abilities and another for permanents without abilities.

Instead i was thinking of letting the ability be used multiple times per turn. But i'm not sure about this.

Updated art, and collecting new feedbacks!

EDIT: reworded and increased poison damage to 2.

Love this theme.

Actually, I think you can use its ability to your own permanents, then to play SoSac when you have a lot of poison counters and to heal you instead of damaging you. Pretty risky, but it would worth a try. Overall, I really like this idea, especially since Death lack any form of PC, but I still think its cost should be reduced to 3 |3 because the player can just not activate the permanent, to just replace it or to use its ability at very crucial moments, so it should be worthy to play as a stand-alone creature too. If that makes it too cheap to play, then it should deal only 1 poison counter or its ability should cost .
Just my 2 and necro ftw!!!

Yeah! Made it to the Forge!
But I have to wait until Forge Creatures Poll is reset.
