Interaction between Viridian Longbow and infect?

Asked by Akromathia 6 years ago

So, so the other day while playing, we came to this problem;

If I attach the Viridian Longbow to a 1/1 (let us say Blighted Agent) creature with infect, and I tap to make 1 damage to a creature or player, does infect come into place? I mean, the creature would get a -1 and the player a poison counter?

I know that this is static ability just like life link, but I am not sure if this applies outside from combat.

Thank you.

A creature would receive a -1/-1 counter (this is also true for a Cinderbones equipped with Viridian Longbow) and a player would receive a poison counter. This interaction is even baked into a single card with Fallen Ferromancer.
