AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Tainted Strike

Equivalent cards (in black) to Tainted Strike are:

  • None are exactly equivalent in black. Tainted Strike uniquely grants infect and pumps a creature as an instant in black.
  • Closest black infect-granting card: Phyresis (an Aura, not an instant).
  • Closest black combat trick: Rush of Vitality (gives deathtouch/lifelink instead of infect).


Reason: No other black instant grants infect and pumps. Phyresis is similar but slower.

    Target creature gets +1/+0 and gains lifelink and indestructible until end of turn. (Damage dealt by that creature also causes its controller to gain that much life, and it can't be destroyed by damage or effects that say "destroy.")

    Poison Counter

    Rules

  • A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.
  • Damage from a source with infect affects planeswalkers normally.
  • Damage from a source with infect is damage in all respects. If the source with infect also has lifelink, damage dealt by that source also causes its controller to gain that much life. Damage from a source with infect can be prevented or redirected. Abilities that trigger on damage being dealt will trigger if a source with infect deals damage, if appropriate.
  • If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a player is prevented, that player doesn’t get poison counters. If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a creature is prevented, that creature doesn’t get -1/-1 counters.
  • Infect’s effect applies to any damage, not just combat damage.
  • The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They’re not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.
