It is very hard to believe though (and I think I agree with you) that a card with "plagued" and "disease" in the title is NOT a poison. I mean there are poisons you can recover from that weaken you for a time. But I guess the way to look at this is you can't go by the name necessarily. PwD is the same exact ability as Crown of Thorns and CoT is not a disease so why should PwD?

I guess you're right...I kinda said that without thinking of any other cards like that. Well I think that based on the name it needs to be a disease. If you are plagued with diseases then I think you are a pretty diseased person. Plagued with Diseases is similar to say, a bee sting. That is certainly a disease but it doesn't last forever. PwD is like that, it isn't a permanent disease but nonetheless definitely a disease. It is hard to say but like with DD this shouldn't be as complex as it is being made. I have been all over the map with this card but I have settled (after arguing with myself) that PwD is a disease/poison.

I am necroposting this thread because I eel this issue needs answering.  If this comes up at my tournament, how should I rule it?  Is Wasting Diseases a disease?  Is PwD still a disease?  I dislike ruling questions left up in the air, can anyone clear this up?
