Does Felix Five-Boots double up toxic triggers?

Asked by purpleballspurple 1 year ago

I was going through OTC spoilers and my first thought when seeing was toxic but im not sure if it will work since toxic doesn't say "When this creature deals combat damage..."

Thank you for the help!

You're right, toxic isn't actually a triggered ability so it doesn't get considered by effects that care about triggered abilities. Here are the detailed rules for toxic:

702.164. Toxic
702.164a Toxic is a static ability. It is written “toxic N,” where N is a number.
702.164b Some rules and effects refer to a creature’s “total toxic value.” A creature’s total toxic value is the sum of all N values of toxic abilities that creature has.
Example: If a creature with toxic 2 gains toxic 1 due to another effect, its total toxic value is 3.
702.164c Combat damage dealt to a player by a creature with toxic causes that creature’s controller to give the player a number of poison counters equal to that creature’s total toxic value, in addition to the damage’s other results. See rule 120.3.
