So, I just created a artifact commander deck with blightsteel colossus in it. I was wondering if when I put lifelink on blightsteel colossus and he attacks a player do I gain all of their health because it gives them 11 poison counter and kills them, or do I just gain 11 health?
If people are sick of reading about stuff just stop taking part. You have 100% control over what you read. Simic Ascendancy isn't going to get banned just because you didn't tell someone to shut up on the internet.
In the future, all rulings questions should go into the Rulings Forum, you'll get faster replies there too. You'll also want to put card tags around your cards in order to create links so people can immediately see what you're asking about: Typing [card]Blightsteel Colossus[/card] will become Blightsteel Colossus.
In this case, MRHblue is quite correct in his answer. Infect changes what damage does, but not how much is dealt.
The game rules makes them lose (most likely), but that is irrelevant.
