Turn Your Creatures into Toxic Messengers
Infectious Bite offers a clever twist on combat tricks, leveraging your own creature’s power to spread Phyrexian contagion across the battlefield. At just two mana, this instant lets you deal damage equal to your creature’s power to a target opponent’s creature, while simultaneously afflicting every opponent with a poison counter. It’s a subtle but effective way to chip away at your foes’ defenses and life totals, especially when paired with creatures boasting high power or Double Strike. Consider pairing Infectious Bite with creatures that have deathtouch or reach to maximize board control and make every bite count.
This card’s synergy thrives in decks that emphasize incremental damage and poison strategies, echoing Phyrexia’s relentless, creeping corruption. It fits seamlessly into green’s toolbox of combat tricks, providing a method to thin out blockers and escalate poison counters without overcommitting resources. Whether you’re aiming to secure a lethal strike or simply tilt the balance of board presence, Infectious Bite offers a versatile and strategic option to sharpen your gameplay.
