How do creatures with infect damage planeswalkers?

How do poison creatures damage planeswalkers?
They would loose as many loyalty counters as if it were normal damage because it basically is.
Infect creatures just specify that the damage dealt to creatures is in the form of -1/-1 counters and players, poison.
A plainswalker is another thing entirely and it doesn't say it gives them counters so you should assume it's just normal damage to them.

okay good, cuz if i had to get 10 poison counters on jace, the mind sculptor just to get rid of it then i'd freak the funk out.

Basically the thing to remember about infect is that the source is still dealing damage, it's just damage that's occasionally in the form of -1/-1 counters, or poison counters. When a creature (or source) deals damage to a planeswalker, it does just that, deals damage. When damage is dealt to a planeswalker, you remove that many loyalty counters. That's just how damage interacts with planeswalkers. Keep in mind that other damage abilities, such as lifelink and deathtouch, are still retained as well. Heck, the creature could deal damage in the form of warm, cuddly hugs if it wanted to.

Smoothering Carebear 3WW
Legandary Creature - Bear
Death Hug (Creatures with Death Hug deals damage in the form of smoothering, life sucking hugs. Any creature dealt a Death Hug will be placed into the graveyard.)
4/4

With an ability called "Death Hug" you'd think it'd be 3WB rather than monowhite. =p

Reguardless of any ability it has, I cannot honestly see a carebear being anything other then mono white, I'm sorry :P

This is MTG, there'd have to be a carebear for each color, like the titans, planeswalkers, whatever else... The black would be, lessee, GraveBear, I guess?

Gravebear, Frostbear, Sunbear, Primevalbear, Infernobear.
Infernobear sounds the sweetest. He can deal FLAME HUGZ.

that's the cycle that'll replace the titans in m12: 3CC 4/4 Legendary Creature - Bear cycle with linked, combat-relevant abilities.
