wither instead of infect, just in case
Everyone thought this has deathtouch. Should it have? It's pretty good as is, what with first strike.
If you give this deathtouch you definitely need to remove first strike. The pairing was too good on Voracious Cobra; they eventually brought it back on a mythic rare legend, Glissa, the Traitor, and she was still very good.
I think this is pretty good as it is. It's a great answer for the 1/N deathtoucher, CB03 Necrodwarf, and it trades with Porcelain Cat. Unfortunately wither is rather out of place: the set should either have lots of it or none of it, and it doesn't really feel like a set with lots of it.
make artifact creature
remove wither; it was mainly there as trinket for the reminder text/flavour text joke. But yeah, it doesn't belong in the set.
Why not just change the word 'Poisoned' to something like 'Hair-Trigger'?
Given I've removed wither, that would be sensible, yes :)
as suggested, rename; as a bonus - to a trap DF actually has.
(Without observing the rest of the set:) This is a white card, isn't it?
Damn; good catch.
It kinda is now. It used to be wither; which made it black enough. But now it's purely defensive trap, and not even a very good one. Needs a rethink.
