Toxic is a static keyword ability that allows the use of multiple poison counters.[1] It was introduced in Phyrexia: All Will Be One as a reworking of Poisonous.
Description
Any time a creature with toxic deals combat damage to a player, that player gets a number of poison counters equal to the toxic value of that creature. Th e toxic value is the number after the toxic keyword. Poison counters are handed out in addition to the damage being dealt.
A creature's toxic value and its power aren't necessarily connected. If a creature with toxic 6 deals 1 combat damage to an opponent, they're getting six poison counters. Toxic has no effect if the creature deals combat damage to another creature or a planeswalker.
Instead of giving poison counters as a triggered ability like Poisonous, Toxic acts more like Lifelink, adding the counters instantaneously.[2]
