keyword:"Toxic"

Toxic is a static keyword ability that allows the use of multiple poison counters. It was introduced in Phyrexia: All Will Be One as a reworking of Poisonous.

Description

Instead of giving poison counters as a triggered ability like Poisonous, Toxic acts more like Lifelink, adding the counters instantaneously.[1][2]

Rules

From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)

Toxic
A keyword ability that causes a player to get poison counters due to combat damage from creatures with the ability. See rule 702.164, “Toxic.”

From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)

  • 702.164. Toxic
    • 702.164a Toxic is a static ability. It is written “toxic N,” where N is a number.
    • 702.164b Some rules and effects refer to a creature’s “total toxic value.” A creature’s total toxic value is the sum of all N values of toxic abilities that creature has.

      Example: If a creature with toxic 2 gains toxic 1 due to another effect, its total toxic value is 3.

    • 702.164c Combat damage dealt to a player by a creature with toxic causes that creature’s controller to give the player a number of poison counters equal to that creature’s total toxic value, in addition to the damage’s other results. See rule 120.3.
