General Questions / Re: Necromancer questions

Thanks. That's what I figured.
Next question:
Is the Necromancer (and [mwcard=MW1C23]Malacoda[/mwcard], for that matter) immune to [mwcard=MW1E19]Ghoul Rot[/mwcard]? Unlike [mwcard=MW1J11]Idol of Pestilence[/mwcard], Ghoul Rot's text hasn't been updated to say "direct poison damage." On the other hand, maybe it isn't necessary because Ghoul Rot has the "poison" subtype. Is Necromancer immune to every card with the "poison" subtype (e.g. would also include [mwcard=MW1E31]Poisoned Blood[/mwcard])?
Yes. Yes.
Oh, I also just noticed that [mwcard=MW1E19]Ghoul Rot[/mwcard]'s text has been updated/errata'd in the Official Rules and Codex Supplement (aka "FAQ") but not in the card database. It now reads:
"Each Upkeep Phase, this creature receives 2 direct poison damage."
So now it's unambiguous... but probably should be updated in the card database (along with several other cards that haven't been updated yet).
