Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon



Black Dragon... This one is going to hurt...

[fallenonme]

A 4/4 Flying for 5, and if you pay 6 it has haste infect with regen, this is going to be fun...I really hope we have ways of dealing with poison counters and -1/-1 counters.

By the way, where did you get the spoiler from? Just for proof.

[RyuumiGaroukuni]

@fallenonme... Go to WotC! And there it is!

[fallenonme]

That does it for me! I'm convinced.

[GODSRAGE]

That looks really good for black. A finisher that is probably as good or better as Persecutor. That is going to be one strong mofo and hard to deal with too with the regen.

[AmbientRaven]

Pretty amazing.
And the art work is some of the best yet!

Maybe finds a home in my dragon EDH deck

[Free 7hinker]

That does it for me! I'm convinced.

So does this mean:

If this Dragon deals 4 damage to an opponent, does the 4 damage take away from life total or does it automatically convert to poison counters? So 3 turns and (12 poison counters) and that player would die?

What does this mean against creatures? For example, if a creature is Indestructible, this Dragon would deal -1/-1 counters, so it can kill an Indestructible creature?

[fallenonme]

It does not deal damage, the damage is dealt in poison counters. So if this deals damage, your opponent won't go from 20 life to 16, he/she'll go from 0 counters to 4, then 4 to 8, and if it connected again and dealt three then yes, your opponent would lose.

This can kill indestructible creatures though yes.

I'm speechless. BSA won't even be a problem, especially with that new tap down Artifact. You can just tap down BSA and swing with this Dragon. I can definitely see him in a UB control build of some sort.
