    Multiple instances of infect are redundant.

    The last ability will trigger no matter how Glistening Oil is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, not just when the enchanted creature is put into the graveyard.

  • WotCJun 1, 2011

    You choose a target creature for Glistening Oil as you cast it, just as you would with any Aura. If that creature is an illegal target when Glistening Oil tries to resolve, Glistening Oil won't resolve and will be put into its owner's graveyard. It won't enter and its last ability won't trigger.
