Rulings

  1. 2024-07-26 · wotc — Any other effects of that damage, such as life gain from lifelink, still apply.
  2. 2024-07-26 · wotc — Damage dealt by a creature with toxic grants the same number of counters regardless of how much damage is dealt. Notably, if a replacement effect modifies the damage in some way (such as that of Gratuitous Violence), the number of counters given remains unchanged.
  3. 2024-07-26 · wotc — If a creature with toxic deals combat damage to a creature or planeswalker, or if it deals noncombat damage, toxic has no effect and no player gets poison counters.
  4. 2024-07-26 · wotc — Multiple instances of toxic are cumulative. For example, if a creature has toxic 2 and gains toxic 1 due to another effect, combat damage that creature deals to a player will cause that player to get three poison counters.
  5. 2024-07-26 · wotc — Toxic doesn't change the amount of combat damage a creature deals. For example, if a 2/2 creature with toxic 1 deals combat damage to a player, that creature will deal 2 damage. The results of that damage are the player loses 2 life and gets a poison counter.
  6. 2024-07-26 · wotc — Conversely, replacement effects that apply to the number of counters put on a player can modify the counters placed this way. For example, Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider's last two abilities can apply to counters placed this way.
  7. 2024-07-26 · wotc — A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action and doesn't use the stack. In other words, it happens immediately and players can't respond to it, just like a player losing the game due to having 0 or less life.
  8. 2024-07-26 · wotc — If the target player is an illegal target as Bloodroot Apothecary's second ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. No player will create a Treasure token.
