Whispering Specter keyword rules

Flying Rule 702.9

Flying is an evasion ability.

A creature with flying can’t be blocked except by creatures with flying and/or reach. A creature with flying can block a creature with or without flying. (See rule , “Declare Blockers Step,” and rule , “Reach.”)

Multiple instances of flying on the same creature are redundant.

Infect Rule 702.90

Infect is a static ability.

Damage dealt to a player by a source with infect doesn’t cause that player to lose life. Rather, it causes that source’s controller to give the player that many poison counters. See rule .

Damage dealt to a creature by a source with infect isn’t marked on that creature. Rather, it causes that source’s controller to put that many -1/-1 counters on that creature. See rule .

If an object changes zones before an effect causes it to deal damage, its last known information is used to determine whether it had infect.

The infect rules function no matter what zone an object with infect deals damage from.

Multiple instances of infect on the same object are redundant.
