Infection
Status
Source: you never draft this, enemies plant it.
Monsters: Phrog Parasite's Infect puts 3 copies into your Discard Pile, and Wriggler's Wriggle adds 1 while giving the Wriggler 2 Strength.- Unplayable: it is Unplayable, if it is still in your Hand at the end of your turn you take 3 damage.
Blockable: the code does not flag that damage unblockable, so Block you still hold at end of turn absorbs it, and it ignores Strength and Vulnerable.
Not Ethereal: it is not Ethereal, so it cycles back through your deck until the fight ends.
