About Cystbearer
Cystbearer, Creature — phyrexian beast, designed by Kev Walker first released in Oct, 2010 in the set Scars of Mirrodin.
This card would be a great fit for a deck focused on utilizing infect mechanics to quickly take down opponents by dealing poison counters. However, there are better infect creatures available in Magic: the Gathering, such as Blight Mamba or Glistener Elf, which offer more efficient ways to spread poison counters. While Cystbearer may not be the top choice for competitive play, it can still be a fun addition to casual infect-themed decks.
Rules

A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.
01/01/11
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.
01/01/11
The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They’re not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.
