Dylan McInnis regales us with the splendor that is ARCANE CORRUPTION >>HERE<< (http://www.arcanewonders.com/arcane-wonders/forged-in-fire-preview-arcane-corruption). How many of this unique card will your Warlock use?
-
That thing is killer.
Costy to put on, but it also means costy to remove.
-
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
Ohhhh my gooood!!!! and it´s not only warlock!!!
This it´s very good vs the transformers (many enchatments on the same creature ej: gryzzly), than i hate too much :)
-
Also, unlike ghoul rot, this is not poison and not limited to Living targets. So you can cast it on necromancer.
-
Curse transfusion strategies just got a bit more powerful.
Actually stacking your own enchantments on the target won't help. This only damages the creature for each of your opponent's enchantments, not each of your own.
-
I just realized that after I posted. I tried to take it down before anybody saw, but alas, I was too late :P I'm actually glad that won't work though. It would have been very powerful.
-
Imo its still a good card to transfuse onto the opponent.
You can bypass his nullify and he will take damage for being protected from the next enchantment.
-
The original version that was proposed was for every enchantment. Needless to say we felt that version would have to cost a great deal more and opted for the current version.

Oh yeah, definitely still a good card to transfuse onto them. I just skimmed over it the first time and misread it, thus thinking it would have been super powerful to transfuse a bunch of curses onto the enemy at once and have them take extra damage for each one on him/her.
-
Transfusion is actually a strong counter to Corruption. Once you get hit by it, Just move all the buffs from the Corrupted creature to something else, chances are it'll be cheaper than trying to Dispel it and the opponent would have to reach pretty deep for the mana to cast a second one.
-
That's a pretty slick card. I can certainly see it working nicely against Nature Mages and Force Masters.

I think the person who did that proposition took drugs o had a bad day. :P :P :P

But they could use a transfer enchantment or their own transfusion to have the curse follow the stack and they spend a lot less mana. This card will kill books that rely on enchantment stacking and that's a good thing.

Na, I felt fine at the time ;-)

Well Aaron in the time we have been doing this I would never say we are fine, strange (http://forum.arcanewonders.com/index.php?action=post;quote=33526;topic=13908.0) maybe but not fine.

It's all relative. ;D

I think of all the mages who rely heavily on enchantments, Wizard will be the least affected by this (cheaper Dispel/higher channeling). My enchantment-heavy Forcemaster on the other hand becomes nearly unplayable with this in the meta (5+ direct damage/turn would kill me pretty quick). Idk how much this actually "balances" arcane, since it just makes Dispel and +channeling effects that much more valuable if you want to use a lot of enchantments...both of which are in the Arcane school.

Which is exactly why Arcane Corruption is unlikely to become a staple. It is countered by a card that most enchantment heavy decks will be packing.
-
If we exchange equal mana and during the exchange you lost 5+ health that's a pretty good deal for me.
Although thinking about it more this does fail the "generally useful" test as its just an overpriced ghoul rot against many opponents. It very well may not see a lot of play but its a better counter than destroy magic is mostly because its level 2.

I would just use Shift Enchantment the Arcane Corruption to the new target you moved your enchantments to. Costing me less to transfer than you.

Nice enchantment wars! What are you giving up in your spellbook for that [mwcard=MW1I25]Shift Enchantment[/mwcard]?
-
I already have 2 in my warlock spellbook to move curse around and buff from adramelech to my warlock or vice versa
-
I like the shift enchantment idea. Nice Novice spell to keep the pain coming. Except you wouldn't want to use it after the opposing Blasting Banker transfuses all those enchantments onto you...ouch!
-
Blasting banker has a lot of self buffs which he won't want to transfer to his opponent. He'd need two transfusions to get himself enchantment free. And he wouldn't do that anyway as he'd be losing too much benefit. Blasting banker must dispel Arcane Corruption, transfusion doesn't help enough.

In the current version. Charmyna has proven himself a flexible player and I think he'll adapt to this card.
-
Tunis card is just a silver bullet to an unexpecting player who stack a lot of enchants. It is not that bad or good just a good option.

Very well put Aquestrion.
