Card similar to Winding Constrictor but for opponents creatures?
Modern Deck Help forum

Is there a card like Winding Constrictor but instead of affecting only your creatures, it affects only the opponent's or both players?
I'm trying to find a card that adds additional -1/-1 wither counters when my opponents creatures get hit with the counters. Thanks.
I thought I had a good idea for a new modern deck that involved wither counters and Winding Constrictor. But someone pointed out that constrictor only works on my own creatures. Replace 4x grim flayer with 4x winding constrictor and that was the deck before my heartbreak.
I thought there could be a combo with Soul-Scar Mage+Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons and Winding Constrictor.Im looking to see if there is a replacement to help spawn more snakes from hapatra by getting more wither counters.

Winding Constrictor doesn't make you get extra snakes. Damage is done as a unit, and constricter just adds a replacement saying "do that +1"

Also, the wording on Hapatra is "whenever you place one or more..."

I have personally always been fond of Thrummingbird, it's the cheapest proliferate/infect combo card. It's blue though.

Satyr Firedancer, Soul-Scar Mage, Guttersnipe, and Thrummingbird would be an interesting combo too. Mix those with proliferate spells, Burn, and draw card.. it could be a devastating deck.

I don't think Firedancer works with Soul Scar because it's a replacement effect. The damage isn't actually dealt.

As far as I know after reading through everything on the effects it does.

I think it works. The damage is dealt by your Satyr Firedancer, and is non-combat. Those are the exact criteria for Soul-Scar Mage. Can't see what Guttersnipe and Thrummingbird has to do with it - damage from Guttersnipe is not from an instant or sorcery, so it does not trigger Satyr Firedancer, and thrummingbird... well... 1/1, doesn't have haste, relies on two other cards to actually do something, is not really good enough.

Thrummingbird i think was for putting additional -1/-1's on creatures for free.

Sorry I was reading it backwards, I thought the Firedancer did the opposite of what he does. Burn the face, put -1/-1 Counters on the creatures, turn sideways. Makes sense to me. Don't mind me.
I'll be putting my Breath of Malfegor multiplayer deck together after all.

Gutternsipe and the burn spell that sets everything off are to deal damage to player, then the other guys let you kill the creatures. Add draw cards and burn to the deck and it might be a good start to something. You essentially have direct player damage and a way to kill creatures or at least weaken them.

Perhaps a turn 2 Contagion Clasp, followed by a turn 3 Black Sun's Zenith, followed by a turn 4 activate Contagion Clasp's Proliferate ability?
There are some board clears like Mutilate or Languish as well.
Is this an infect-like creature deck?
