Poisoner's Apprentice
Oracle Text
Infusion — When this creature enters, target creature an opponent controls gets -4/-4 until end of turn if you gained life this turn.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Poisoner’s Apprentice looks like a Strixhaven student of the darker, more clinical sort: an Orc Warlock who turns a little life gain into a lethal lesson. For {2}{B}, a 2/2 is modest, but the real draw is the Infusion trigger—if you gained life this turn, it can shrink an opponent’s creature by -4/-4 until end of turn, often acting as a clean removal spell for small and medium threats. That makes it especially strong in control and tempo decks that already plan to gain life incidentally, then convert that buffer into removal while developing the board. It pairs nicely with cheap lifelink creatures, extort-style effects, drain spells, or anything that gains life as a byproduct of interaction. In Limited, it can swing combat hard; in Constructed, it wants consistent life-gain support so it’s not just a fragile 2/2. Play it when you can reliably trigger Infusion, and it becomes both disruption and pressure.
