Glistening Oil 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.
01
Official card text
Enchant creature Enchanted creature has infect. At the beginning of your upkeep, put a -1/-1 counter on enchanted creature. When this Aura is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, return it to its owner's hand.
How it works : Glistening Oil
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You choose a target creature for Glistening Oil as you cast it, just as you would with any Aura. If that creature is an illegal target when Glistening Oil tries to resolve, Glistening Oil won't resolve and will be put into its owner's graveyard. It won't enter and its last ability won't trigger.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The last ability will trigger no matter how Glistening Oil is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, not just when the enchanted creature is put into the graveyard.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Multiple instances of infect are redundant.
No other card is named in this ruling.
