Exile target attacking creature. Then remove it from the exile zone to outside the game.
Here I think there would be reminder text specifying what outside the game meant. According to the rulings for wish spells, a card that is outside the game is one in the sideboard or (only in an unsanctioned event) any card in your collection. Of course, that means the owner of the card could wish for it later.
Maybe it would be in keeping with the spirit of this card if there was a new zone distinct from the two I mentioned. The absolutely-removed-from-the-freaking-game-forever zone could be a zone where cards cannot be removed by any means until the game ends once they enter.
Ruining everything forever.I made a couple TF 2 based ones for /tg/ a while back. The thread died, but I still have the MSE files.
Here's The Intelligence

The mana costs will need quite a bit of tweaking, though...
Just a thought from the return of poison.
Tainted Rage (2R)
Instant
Tainted Rage deals damage to target creature or player equal to the number of poison counters on you.
I'll teach those Phyrexian scum the difference between 'dying' and 'dead'.
(OK, so on the face of it it's about as useful as One With Nothing against a non-poison deck, but with proliferate, Ichor Rats and a few things that have poison as a cost - hell, even with a Donate effect like Bazaar Trader and some critters with poison - you could make it workable. I'm trying for theme, not harsh mechanical rigour.)
Planescape Hijack
Dorku: that's pretty cool flavor—not the most powerful or competitive, but they don't all have to be. If you want to make it a bit more so, you could make it count -1/-1 counters on creatures you control too, which sounds like it would be fun to build a deck around (playing Torture on your own creatures, for instance).
Productivity is for people without internet connections. -Count DorkuHmm...
Revenge of the Tainted
Artifact
Mana to cast: 2 anycolor (CMC: 2)
2, T: Revenge of the Tainted deals X damage to target creature, player, or planeswalker, where X is the total number of poison counters and -1/-1 counters on you and all permanents you control.

The Planeswalker clause is also unnecessary because damage dealt to a player can be redirected onto a Planeswalker they control.
My Twitter. Mostly tweeting about Magic, sometimes anime. Needs Wiki MagicOn the theme of poison counters...
Corrupted Blood
1B
Sorcery
Target player loses 4 life, and you get 2 poison counters.
Or maybe that should be 3 life for 1 poison counter, instead, considering the possibility of life gain and proliferate.
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...Put a bit more thought into it.
Tainted Cycle
All of these spells are instants costing 2CC.
White: Tainted Shield. Prevent the next X damage that would be dealt to you and/or to creatures you control until end of turn, where X is the number of poison counters on you and -1/-1 counters on creatures you control.
Blue: Tainted Flux. Counter target spell unless its controller pays X, where X is the number of poison counters on you and -1/-1 counters on creatures you control.
Black: I'm having trouble with this one.
Red: Tainted Rage. Deals damage to target creature/player equal to poison counters on you and -1/-1 counters on creatures you control.
Green: Tainted Growth. Target creature gets +X/+X, and you should be able to guess how you calculate X.
Planescape Hijack
Maybe you could split the red one into two? Red gets "deal that much damage to target creature", black gets "target player loses that much life". That's one of the ways it usually works.
Actually, this gives me an idea:
Tainted Screwyou
XB:
Sorcery
As an additional cost to cast ~, gain X poison counters.
Target player loses X life and you gain X life.
Probably too good in general, but in an environment with Infect it presents some interesting tactical choices.

What's the un-card that further exiles a card that's already exiled, but in old terminology?
