Talk:Poison counter
Anyone else think this article is a little redundant with Poisonous?--Filby 03:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I can see what you mean, Filby; but while there's overlap between poisonous and poison counter, poisonous and poison counter are quite different. If action is to be taken, I would consider merging the two into one, but which under which? Maybe poisonous under poisonous, but that's a bit awkward... I hope we'll hear from others on this.

This article and Poisonous should be seperate, othewise every card that gives poison counters per the gatherer link on the page would have been errata'd with Poisonous and they weren't. So keep seperate for now unless we can find a way to merge them correctly. Someone could come on here and search for poison counters, should that take them to Poisonous? --GeoMike 12:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Weren't there old Snake-Creatures that give Players PoisonCounters when they successfully deal damage to them? I think that Poisonous is kind of a Futureshifted ability of FutureSight; like Deathtouch or sth; that will appear on Errata / Oracle when the first time these keywords will appear on *normal prints* --Hó-òh Diskussion 12:28, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- That's any damage; hence my abuse of them with stuff like Viridian Longbow back in the day. ^.^ MM (talk!) 12:58, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
