Bloated Contaminator

Description

The Bloated Contaminator stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, specifically within the 2023 Phyrexia: All Will Be One Promos set. Identified by the card number 159p, this creature card brings a distinct mechanical threat to the table with its status as a Rare, colored green, and possessing a mana value of three. As a Creature — Phyrexian Beast, it commands a substantial 4/4 power and toughness, making it a durable asset in gameplay scenarios. What distinguishes this card in the Phyrexia: All Will Be One Promos collection is its complex ability suite. It features Trample, allowing excess combat damage to bypass blockers and strike the player directly. It also possesses Toxic 1, meaning any player dealt combat damage by this creature receives a poison counter, adding a layer of attrition to matches. Furthermore, its triggered ability activates whenever it deals combat damage to a player, causing the controller to proliferate. This means they can choose any number of permanents and/or players and give each another counter of each kind already there, amplifying existing advantages on the battlefield. Designed by artist Johann Bodin, the card is part of the PONE set code, representing a specific era of Magic: The Gathering lore centered around the Phyrexian threat. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often seek out promo variants to complete specific sets or to acquire cards with unique aesthetic or mechanical presentations. The Bloated Contaminator’s combination of raw power and strategic counters makes it a notable entry for enthusiasts of the format. Whether for building a thematic collection or exploring the game's deeper mechanical interactions, this 2023 release offers a compelling piece for any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast's library.
