Blight Mamba is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.): Regenerate this creature.
How it works : Blight Mamba
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.
Card named in this ruling
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Infect's effect applies to any damage, not just combat damage.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They're not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Damage from a source with infect is damage in all respects. If the source with infect also has lifelink, damage dealt by that source also causes its controller to gain that much life. Damage from a source with infect can be prevented or redirected. Abilities that trigger on damage being dealt will trigger if a source with infect deals damage, if appropriate.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a player is prevented, that player doesn't get poison counters. If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a creature is prevented, that creature doesn't get -1/-1 counters.
