Related Rules
Damage dealt to a player by a source without infect causes that player to lose that much life.
Damage dealt to a player by a source with infect causes that source’s controller to give the player that many poison counters.
Damage dealt to a creature by a source with wither and/or infect causes that source’s controller to put that many -1/-1 counters on that creature.
Damage dealt to a creature by a source with neither wither nor infect causes that much damage to be marked on that creature.
Multiple instances of infect on the same object are redundant.
Damage dealt to a creature by a source with neither wither nor infect is marked on that creature (see rule 120.3). If the total damage marked on that creature is greater than or equal to its toughness, that creature has been dealt lethal damage and is destroyed as a state-based action (see rule 704). All damage marked on a creature is removed when it regenerates (see rule 701.19, “Regenerate”) and during the cleanup step (see rule 514.2).
Infect
Infect is a static ability.
Rulings
Damage from a source with infect affects planeswalkers normally.
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.
The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They're not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.
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.
Infect's effect applies to any damage, not just combat damage.
A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.
