ART: Source IDEA: Treldon NOTES: Applying poison on attack is active ability, can be lobotomized. It is applied on successful attack, like scorpions, only active when used with  mark Necrotic is a passive ability. It means that simply by being in play Blight deals 3 damage to opponent bypassing any and all forms of damage protection, including being stalled. Furthermore it also deals 1 damage to adjacent creature slots. Combinations are therefore twofold. For one you get unblockable damage, and you also get passive CC on two of your own creatures, which means that with smart casting order you can provide (semi)constant food for your Bone Wall and Soul Catcher SERIES: Waking up ideas

Necrotic or neurotic?

Interesting idea, although does the capital P in Poison signify that it essentially casts the card Poison or deals one poison counter?

[Treldon]

Good catch, missed those. Edited for clarity. Now with lower p so it's clear it's poison counter.

Sounds like you made a keyword to save space that isn't very instinctive, or explained on another card. I don't particularly like that. I can't look at this and know what it means, and I'd have to guess while playing, and might not know how it interacts with any other effects without much experimentation.

[Treldon]

We do have a Wiki that explains such details. That's how everyone learns a new game, no?

As for saving space, that is completely true. There is no way to explain the effect in just four lines.

[Naesala]

That's how everyone learns a new game, no?

No, I have never used the wiki. Some people don't know it exists. The number of redundant newbie questions alone should show how often people are confused. I'm not saying the card is necessarily bad, but I don't think it needs to be as complicated as you made it.

The cost is a bit high for such a low attack. Maybe cut it to 6? Good concept though

If you consider that it also deals the unstoppable 3 damage it's not overpriced anymore
