Well technically...
Therein lies the problem :)

It has four abilities: Place, Increase/Decrease, Discard, and Place...
I see where you could get that in a "technical" sense.  However, the intuitive reading of that card is that it poisons a hero and then captures him when he runs out of defense.  If the wording doesn't allow for this, then it needs a "Play As", but this card is clearly a poison card and a capture card, and is even listed as a poison card in the REG.

Hey,

We don't play cards based on their "intuitive reading."  We can't use "intuition" because that leads different people to different conclusions.  We use the "technical reading" to determine how cards are played.  We seek for the most common intuitive readings to match the technical reading to make things easier on the players but we don't force that.

The card does need errata to address the fact that it's missing a capture ability at the end (because without it the last clause is somewhat absurd).  This card will receive attention before the release of the new REG and I expect that attention will lead to it being re-categorized as a place ability and not as a poison ability.

And the idea that a card with Poison in the title and the identifier does NOT poison anyone is equally absurd.

This card will receive attention before the release of the new REG and I expect that attention will lead to it being re-categorized as a place ability and not as a poison ability.
I also expect that it will receive attention.  However, I'm less sure of the outcome of that attention.

The place in Land of Bondage without a capture ability is Invisible Beings absurd.  The Poison in the title and identifier without a poison ability is Split Altar absurd.

I'm pretty sure the second one is more a Moses is a Female Angel absurd. A poison is a Poison.

Wait..."Poison" of dragons isn't a poison.

What?
The official answer appears to be that "Poison of Dragons" does indeed cause characters to be "poisoned".  Therefore, they can also be "healed".
