Serpent Generator

Poison Win Ambition

Hello Maro :) I've missed my birthday (it was yesterday) , but I would like to ask for some trivia :) I have the same problem as the previous years: I read and listen to i believe everything you post, so in most cases I already know trivia you post :) Maybe some obscure piece of info about 4-color legends? Or Infect/Poison/Phyrexia?

When Legends came out, I fell in love with poison. It was on two cards, Pit Scorpion and Serpent Generator. I made a blue/black deck with every creature copying card I had. The goal was to poison someone to death. Just once. That’s all I wanted. I played and played, but to no avail. I couldn’t win with poison. I went on to build other decks, but I would pull it out time from time.Finally, months later I managed to win with poison. It felt so good. I vowed then and there that I would do whatever I could to make a poison deck viable. When I started at Wizards, it became one of my goals. It took a while, but I did it. Poison even won a Pro Tour.Happy Birthday!

Poison Mechanic Origin

How long has the poison mechanic been around? I just stumbled across Serpent Generator from Legends.

That’s where it started. On two cards (Serpent Generator and Pit Scorpion) in Legends.
