When ~ enters the battlefield, you may put a poison counter on target player without a poison counter.
I'm not sure why this is blue in its current incarnation, mechanically or flavorfully.

So it just chills on the stack forever then?

Gain control of target creature with a -1/-1 counter on it. It has infect. Its owner may choose to destroy it instead.

Your suggested effect is much stronger, since it dodges things like Doom Blade.
It's blue mechanically because unblockability is a part of blue and because of Agent.
Flavorfully, no, it's not blue, but why does that matter?

I don't get your point.

Hmm correct.

Your second ability can interpreted two ways:
1) Plague Spreader has haste and is unblockable if no opponents are poisoned.
2) Plague Spreader has haste and is unblockable if not all opponents are poisoned.
I'd recommend wording it to be less ambiguous. Also, it's really more black than blue.

It can't enter the battlefield, but there's nothing preventing you from casting it.

How is it more black than blue if the ONLY unblockable infecter is blue?
Also, ok, I'll clarify.

It will very often do the same thing in a way that is more mechanically blue.
It's blue mechanically because unblockability is a part of blue and because of Agent.
My line of thinking was more regarding the haste and seemingly bloodthirsy nature of the card.
Flavorfully, no, it's not blue, but why does that matter?
It's a fantasy games with names and flavor text. Why would it not matter?

Permanents enter the battlefield from the stack when they resolve. Your card limits the card's ability to enter the battlefield. If you limit the ability to play the card, you open up the posibility to Tinker it etc.

There are blue hasters. Should I make it  ?

Why is Avacyn's Pilgrim  green?

I still don't understand what you are saying. Sorry. Can you elaborate? Or give an example?

Haste can be red or black — combining it with unblockability and infect feels very black. It's also a rat, which is a staple creature for black.

There is one blue creature with haste and defender, from Future Sight, plus various creatures with suspend and unearth.

Because it's a druid, produces mana, was a human like a lot of other green creatures in Innistrad and is a pilgrim, a word that implies journey and exploration.
Edit: Actually, it's a monk, but those are no stranges to Jukai either.

I cast the card. It goes on the stack. The card tries to resolve. Your card tells it "no, you can't enter the battlefield". Card goes "then where am I supposed to go?"

Counts.

Monks are generally white and green has less humans than white and red in Innistrad. The only good reason why he is green is the one I bolded, which, I think you can agree, is 100% mechanical and 0% flavour.

I understand finally XD. Sorry, and thanks. I will change it to can't be cast.
