    Target creature gets +1/+0 and gains infect until end of turn. (It deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)

    Infect’s effect applies to any damage, not just combat damage.

    A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.

    The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They’re not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.
