a question about Suncleanser and poison counters.

Asked by cascadien 5 years ago

hi all, im still searching for ways to counter infect damage or poison counters and have recently pulled a Suncleanser from a pack of 2019. unfortunately i tend to have a problem discerning between what words mean, and what words mean in Magic. if anyone can please shed some light as to whether this card allows me to do this, please do so and i thank you in advance.

Suncleanser can remove -1/-1 counters from your creatures and protect them against being given more, but it doesn't allow you to remove poison counters from yourself.

A card does what it says, no more and no less. Suncleanser can remove counters from any creature, but in terms of players it can only remove counters from your opponents. As-written, you can't target yourself with the ability.
