Doesnt work with singularity (like immo)

Whoops, must have missed that. So does that mean that can't target singularities, it can target them but nothing happens or that they gain the poison counters but your opponent doesn't?

[dawn to dusk]

it does what immo does: kills (poisons) the sing without the added benefits.

i had an idea for the art for this but it was just a recoloured poison and it still had the death mark on it. if anyone has any idea for the art, post it here. (in other words, art is needed)

How's this?



It's suppose to depict a vein being pierced by spiky thorns.

[EmeraldDagger]

Looks awesome. I have an idea for the art too, a blue or red vein showing discoloration or some sort of contamination. But wouldn't that be too gory?

[dawn to dusk]

i like the art

but before i change it, i need to ask what else to change. i was thinking of the idea to kill the creature and have its cost turn to poison counters for the opponent. thoughts?

[Terran 3]

Maybe you could delay the creature for X turns, and place X poison counters on the opponent, where X equals the creature cost.

[CuCN]

That doesn't address the problem with using it multiple times on the same creature.

[Terran 3]

That's a good point.

Maybe just disallow playing this card more than once per turn?

[Zignaught]

Here is the problem I see. With this card I would be playing  use water pendulums for purity. Jade Dragon or Bone Dragon, Hit Jade Dragon with Biotoxin purify, rinse repeat. If you could manage 2 or 3 bio toxins, you could play them all at once, the just purify the Dragon, your doing 30 poison damage, which most decks probably couldn't deal with. Maybe if you could limit how many times you could use this a turn that would be good. That or buff the cost. Just IMO and theory.

[andretimpa]

Like I said before and Terran also suggested, limiting to one per creature per turn kills less sinergies than instakilling. The amount of poison is normally enough that if you'd profit from the death effects then you can still get them.

[dawn to dusk]

not too sure how id fit it on the card though... otherwise newbies would get confused

[andretimpa]

Target a creature you own. It and your opponent gain poison [counters] equal to its cost. Max 1 per creature per turn.

If you leave the word counter out it fits. Not sure if it gets too big with it.
