About Contagious Nim

Contagious Nim, Creature — phyrexian zombie, designed by Efrem Palacios first released in Oct, 2010 in the set Scars of Mirrodin. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.64.

A deck that focuses on utilizing infect as a win condition, such as a poison-themed deck in Magic: the Gathering, would benefit from including Contagious Nim. While Contagious Nim can be a solid addition to such a deck, there are other more powerful infect creatures like Blightsteel Colossus or Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon that might be considered better options for their higher impact. Contagious Nim could see play in a budget or more casual infect deck, but in a competitive setting, it may not be the most optimal choice.
