Take the 2-minute tour ×  In Commander / EDH players have 40

being eliminated. Is it still 10 poison counters in Commander /
EDH?  In Commander / EDH a player is eliminated if they receive
21 commander damage. If the commander does poison damage does
this count double toward the poison threshold, or somehow
different than normal poison counters?  share|improve this
