A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.

Wotc — January 01, 2011

Infect's effect applies to any damage, not just combat damage.

Wotc — January 01, 2011

The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They're not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.

Wotc — January 01, 2011

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.

Wotc — January 01, 2011

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.

Wotc — January 01, 2011

Damage from a source with infect affects planeswalkers normally.

Wotc — January 01, 2011

If Ichor Rats's last ability causes each player to have ten poison counters, the game is a draw.
