One poison per turn to both players - need help with cost, balancing. https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=40024.msg496587#msg496587

Base of idea: Death is indiscriminate and inevitable.

Idea:
Permanent
Cost 2-3
Each turn, both players gain one poison counter.

Or, if one each is too UP, it can be increased to two counters for the opponent and one for yourself, or 3:1 or 3:2 or 2:2.  Whatever ratio works best.

Practical usage: Great in a Purify/Puffer/Chrys speed poison, and also has synergy with SoSac (removing the problem of under 12(10) damage per turn from opponent).

I still need help on what sort of cost would balance this idea.  I thought about it in comparison to Chrysaora, Arsenic and Poison.  Chrysaora gives an unblockable +1 poison damage per turn to the opponent, but is vulnerable to cheap CC and can't do anything the turn it comes out. Poison is an instant 2 poison, but doesn't stack.  Arsenic I think is the closest to this card, as it is also affected by PC but is blocked by a fair number of shields (diss, dim, etc.) and yet does damage as well for an initial two quanta.  Arsenic can't stack though, while this card can - up to six copies on your side of the field.  I'm thinking of a 2-3 cost for this, but if your opinion differs or if you think the card is too similar to Arsenic/Chrysaora to be worth thinking about, please let me know.  The upped version might give two poison to both players with a cost increase, but I'm not sure at all about that.

But a bomb would be a one time use wouldn't it maybe its like a nauseous vapor given off a rock like how pure sulfur smells like rotten eggs
If I have something to say I'll keep it to my self then let it out at the worst possible moment and then I will walk away laughing
