702.164 Toxic
- 702.164a Toxic is a static ability. It is written “toxic N,” where N is a number.
- 702.164b Some rules and effects refer to a creature’s “total toxic value.” A creature’s total toxic value is the sum of all N values of toxic abilities that creature has. Example: If a creature with toxic 2 gains toxic 1 due to another effect, its total toxic value is 3.
- 702.164c Combat damage dealt to a player by a creature with toxic causes that creature’s controller to give the player a number of poison counters equal to that creature’s total toxic value, in addition to the damage’s other results. See rule 120.3. (refs: 120.3)
