Quiacatl Shaman

QuiacatlShaman; 1GG
1G: Target Player Receives 1 Poison Counter And you lose 2 life; If You control ~Quiacatl Master~ and a Swamp, You lose no life
2/3

Something like that. Not entirely sure how it should go. but something of that sort.

I think this card may depend entirely on Quiacatl Master. With the way that green can generate mana, this could generate a lot of poison counters very quickly. Even with just a Wellwisher, this may as well be green "direct damage". I think that people underestimate poison counters because there's never been any real support for them in the past. If we create a set in which they're well-supported, then it is going to be important that we don't make effects that utilize them too well or they'll be degenerate.

Maybe a once each turn and may only play when a sorcery could be played effect added?

[Ephraim]

In that case, why not just make it tap to perform the effect. I wouldn't care if it were playable at the speed of an instant if it tapped. You probably want it to be able to do this ability and also attack, but I think that's gratuitous. Also, why is it a 2/3? Aren't shamans typically wizened elders - the sort of characters that are properly 1/1?

Now that I think about it, even if you make those changes, and definitely now, this card is much better and very similar to a card I already posted, Priest of Quiacatl.
