Poisoned Salve - CotW nominee (7/4/2005)

[Provoke]

Poisoned Salve :w::g:
Instant
Target player gains 5 life. That player gets 2 poison counters.

[limdulsAura]

oooh interesting :)

[GenericKen]

I do agree... but nourish is 6 life for GG

[Scud422]

Who makes a poison counter deck with white?

[who is the pilot]

i made a card like this called fugu toxin which was :g::g:. . .i think that's fine here, too. . .the interesting thing about this is it restores 1/4 of their life, but puts them 1/5 closer to a poison death. . .so once you play this, you have to commit to killing them with poison. . .making it scepterable is a little scary, though. . .

[Bosty]

Sorry, but what does a poison counter do?

[Flash]

Having 10 or more poison counters = game loss.

[Eye of Shizo]

I'd rather play a Nourish, but this could also be a good common.

I'd rather play a Nourish, but this could also be a good common.

HINT: This thing sure as hell isn't targetting you.

I'd cost it 2G, because, as it was said, white doesn't get the poison ability. White gets Leeches. Plus this thing on a scepter would be insane in a decent control deck.

[Mana Geek]

I prefer seeing it in monogreen, as it is both a colour of lifegain and poison. GG or 2G as the cost would be decent.

Good luck in being one of the rarities on Brainburst - a common CotW. :)

[unumplurum]

I think I'd like it more if it were better than Nourish - so you could more easily use it on yourself if your opponent weren't playing with poison. It might get my vote all the same, though. :)

[stopowningme]

only reason i want to see this up'ed in mana cost to :1::g::w: is isochron scepter + other arti untappers

[Charlie Yu]

10 is more playable if Heroes' Reunion gives 7.

thanks for the nom :)

I'd say...too powerful. It can give you life ¼ your life back, give an opponent poisen counters, and it's mana efficient.

Those were the reasons why the monkey nominated this card.

yes it can give you back 1/4 your life, but then it gives YOU the poison counters. in order for you to give your opponent poison counters, you must cast this spell on them. therefore they gain the life.
