Phyresis Infect Attachment
Asked by Unifiss 1 year ago
When Phyresis is attached to Drakuseth, Maw of Flames, does the 4 damage it does to any target(opponent) apply as poison counters?
In the future, please use the Rules Q&A section when you have questions about rules, cards, or card interactions. That section has some added functionality, including the ability to “mark as answer” a post to indicate your question is resolved. I have gone ahead and moved your thread for you.

To answer your question, yes, the damage dealt by Drakuseth’s triggered ability will apply poison counters to opponents (and -1/-1 counters to creatures). Infect applies to all damage, not just combat damage, so any time a card says the creature with infect is the one causing damage, that damage will be in poison counters or -1/-1 counters.

Though I generally defer to someone else’s answer over my own, I went with my own answer as, though the other post was correct, the answer was caged with an “I imagine so”, indicating a degree of uncertainty that might confuse future viewers of the thread.

I imagine so.... in the same way if something has or is given Deathtouch if it pings for any damage it will destroy those creatures.
