Rationale
3cmc sorcery—draw 2, lose 2 life, each opponent gets a poison counter. Cantrip-like card draw with modest poison incidental upside. Signature in spellslinger shells that leverage card advantage, and niche in combo as a redundant draw source. Actively anti-synergistic in true infect-toxic decks (poison as primary wincon), which want focused poison acceleration, not diluted draw + poison. Life-cost is a notable downside; poison counters as incidental byproduct makes this tier-fringe."
