Talk:Infect

You uh... got the name of the mechanic wrong. It's "Infect" not Infest.Barinellos 19:23, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Also infect has not been officially placed in the Comprehensive Rules yet. You guys just used the 'Wither' rules and replaced wither with 'infect'.[NOTE: Wither and Infect are different] Also damage to players are not dealt normally - its in poison counters. Sned 2:05, 21 September 2010

How many poison counters will a player get if dealt damage by something with 3 power and infect? 3 or just 1?

See this rule: 702.88b Damage dealt to a player by a source with infect doesn’t cause that player to lose life. Rather, it causes the player to get that many poison counters. See rule 119.3.

Card statistics outdated?

The search at https://scryfall.com/search?q=oracle%3AInfect&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name yields 67 cards instead of 44. Is the 'Statistics' bit of the infobox outdated or are they a different type of metric? --Elfgloof (talk) 14:51, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

• A good question to ask. The search returns all cards with the word "Infect" in their text box and/or name. The cards we typically put into the 'stats' are the ones that have the ability Infect (i.e. Blighted Agent), rather than cards that grant Infect (i.e. Triumph of the Hordes) or cards referring to Infect in some way (i.e. Burn the Impure). --Neo (talk) 17:15, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

I updated the search a bit to search for /Infect[^\w]/ which throw out all results where infect would be a substring like in "infection counter". We are however still on 61 results which either have the keyword, can gain or grant the keyword or references the keyword in any capacity. - Yandere-sliver (talk) 17:31, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
