Snake Cult Initiation on Infect Creature?

Asked by FadingFaces 9 years ago

If Snake Cult Initiation enchants Blighted Agent, will the opponent player get 4 or 3 poison counters when it deals combat damage to that player?

Four.

"Poisonous X" is a triggered ability that triggers when the source deals combat damage to a player. It doesn't modify or replace damage.

Infect is a static ability that modifies how the source deals damage to creatures and to players.

When Blighted Agent deals combat damage to a player, that player will immediately get a poison counter from the infect damage. Blighted Agent's poisonous 3 ability will trigger. When the ability resolves, the defending player will get another three poison counters.
