Infect and Curiosity
Asked by InnerFlame 11 years ago
Does hitting a player with infect, for instance with Blighted Agent , do a form of damage that would trigger Curiosity if attached to it?

Yes it would. The Blighted Agent is damaging the player; it just results in the player getting a poison token instead of losing life.

Curiosity doesn't specify that the creature has to do a specific form of damage, only that it deals damage. You could put some form of direct damage enchantment or equipment on the blighted agent, which would still result in a poison counter and you would still draw the card.

Follow-up question: What if I had Curiosity on Guttersnipe in a 4-player free-for-all game, and then started casting other instants and sorceries? Would I draw 3 cards for each spell cast?

Yes. Curiosity's trigger condition of "An opponent is damaged by the enchanted creature" is going to be met three times in a 4-player FFA game.
Note that you'll draw 1, then draw 1, then draw 1, rather than draw 3, as some effects care about that distinction.

If you have 3 opponents then Guttersnipe will "deal damage to an opponent" 3 times as his ability resolves.

Yes. It deals damage in the form of poison counters to players, but it is still dealing damage.
