  The token copies the creature as it last existed on the battlefield before it died, not as it existed in the graveyard before it was exiled.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  Any other effects of that damage, such as life gain from lifelink, still apply.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action and doesn't use the stack. In other words, it happens immediately and players can't respond to it, just like a player losing the game due to having 0 or less life.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  Damage dealt by a creature with toxic grants the same number of counters regardless of how much damage is dealt. Notably, if a replacement effect modifies the damage in some way (such as that of Gratuitous Violence), the number of counters given remains unchanged.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  If the token is a copy of a creature whose power and toughness are defined by an ability (usually printed as */* or similar), the token doesn't copy the ability that defines its power and toughness. It remains a 1/1 creature.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  If the copied creature had {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  If the copied creature was copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied, with the exceptions noted above.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  Except for the listed exceptions, the token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that had changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  Conversely, replacement effects that apply to the number of counters put on a player can modify the counters placed this way. For example, Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider's last two abilities can apply to counters placed this way.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  If something becomes a copy of the token, the copy also has base power and toughness 1/1 and has toxic 1.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  If a creature with toxic deals combat damage to a creature or planeswalker, or if it deals noncombat damage, toxic has no effect and no player gets poison counters.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  Toxic doesn't change the amount of combat damage a creature deals. For example, if a 2/2 creature with toxic 1 deals combat damage to a player, that creature will deal 2 damage. The results of that damage are the player loses 2 life and gets a poison counter.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the creature will also work.
• 2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast
  Multiple instances of toxic are cumulative. For example, if a creature has toxic 2 and gains toxic 1 due to another effect, combat damage that creature deals to a player will cause that player to get 3 poison counters.
