hi im just wondering if power conduit can be used against infect damage, sorry if this is the wrong place to inquire but im new to these forums. thanks in advance.
Ryjo is correct, both in answer and in forum placement. I’ve taken the liberty of moving this thread to the Rules Q&A section - that section has a special “mark as answer” button that will appear next to posts, indicating your question has been resolved and helping keep down forum clutter. If you could please mark Ryjo’s answer as accepted, that would be appreciated.
Also, please be sure to link cards you are discussing in double brackets - it makes things a bit easier on everyone.

Power Conduit cannot remove poison counters regardless of whether they came from infect or another source. It does work against infect damage dealt to creatures though, as that's -1/-1 counters on a permanent.

I think this should be in the Rules Q&A forum. As far as the question at hand goes, Power Conduit can not be used against infect damage, since it says to remove a counter from a permanent you control, and players (which is where poison counters go) are not permanents.
