Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)
Mox strategy
Contagious Nim is a solid early infect threat for black-based poison decks. Its main strength is that a 2/2 infect body for 3 mana can pressure opponents quickly, especially when backed by pump spells or evasion. It’s best in aggressive builds that aim to give poison counters fast rather than play a long game.
It gets much stronger with cheap power boosts and combat tricks like Groundswell, Mutagenic Growth, and scale effects from equipment or anthems. Because infect damage to creatures is -1/-1 counters, it also helps pick off small blockers if you can force trades.
Key role: efficient poison clock, especially in mono-black or Golgari infect shells. Best use case is as a curve-filling attacker that turns modest buffs into a fast poison kill.
