This concept is a little broken right at the starting line, because a 30 second DoT means that Fenix, Samuro, Zeratul, Muradin, Nova, Valeera, Falstad, and Olaf effectively lose access to their traits if they dare try to interact with Putricide, which is just unacceptable. Given the low damage, it might as well just be a Mark, but then you run into problems where hoard summons aren't particularly fun to play against and tend to have fairly low room for meaningful skill expression and/or have "sit the whole game out" playstyles.
