Phyresis Outbreak 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
Each opponent gets a poison counter. Then each creature your opponents control gets -1/-1 until end of turn for each poison counter its controller has.
How it works : Phyresis Outbreak
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The amount a creature's power and toughness are reduced is determined only once, at the time Phyresis Outbreak resolves. It won't change if that creature's controller later gets more poison counters or if another player takes control of it later in the same turn.
