Not to be confused with Blight counter.

Blight is a keyword action introduced in Lorwyn Eclipsed. It forces a player to put a number of −1/−1 counters on a creature they control.

Description

When a player is instructed to blight N, they put N −1/−1 counters on a creature they control.

The mechanic is an play on the Shadowmoor mechanic Wither which also used −1/−1 counters, and might be named after the card Incremental Blight from that same set and/or "eyeblight", the term Lorwyn's elves use for creatures they deem ugly.

Example

Example

High Perfect Morcant
Legendary Creature — Elf Noble
Whenever High Perfect Morcant or another Elf you control enters, each opponent blights 1. (They each put a -1/-1 counter on a creature they control.)
Tap three untapped Elves you control: Proliferate. Activate only as a sorcery. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)
