    Whenever this creature enters or attacks, you may blight 2. If you do, you draw a card and lose 1 life. (To blight 2, put two -1/-1 counters on a creature you control.)

    It bears a forbidden fruit.

    The creature you choose to put -1/-1 counters on doesn't have to have enough toughness to survive the process. For example, if you blight 2, you can choose to put the counters on a 1/1 creature you control.

    Once you've announced that you're casting a spell or activating an ability, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to destroy or otherwise remove your creatures to stop you from blighting as part of paying the cost of that spell or ability.

    If you can't place -1/-1 counters on any creatures you control (probably because you control no creatures), you can't choose to blight.
