    At the beginning of your first main phase, you may blight 1. If you do, create a Treasure token. (To blight 1, put a -1/-1 counter on a creature you control. A Treasure token is an artifact with " tap , Sacrifice this token: Add one mana of any color.")

    The only metal polish he uses is blood.

    If a creature has +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it, state-based actions remove the same number of each so that it has only one kind of those counters on it. For example, if a creature has three +1/+1 counters on it and two -1/-1 counters are put on it, state-based actions will remove two of each of those kinds of counters, leaving the creature with just one +1/+1 counter.

    If a creature that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner's graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, effects that refer to the counters on that creature when it died will see all of those +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters.

    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.
