Dylan McInnis regales us with the splendor that is ARCANE CORRUPTION >>HERE<<. 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.

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.

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.

Well Aaron in the time we have been doing this I would never say we are fine, strange maybe but not fine.
