Consuming Corruption Retro Frame Instant
Consuming Corruption is a versatile instant from Modern Horizons 3 that scales with your Swamps. It deals X damage to target creature or planeswalker and you gain X life, where X is the number of Swamps you control. In black decks, it doubles as removal and a reliable life swing at instant speed, offering value even when you can't push through a full victory. The retro frame gives the card a familiar look while staying fully functional at the table.
Flavor text hints at a perilous path through the mire, reminding players that shortcuts in magic often carry a cost. In practical terms, Consuming Corruption rewards deliberate land strategies and timely play, fitting neatly into midrange and control builds that rely on swamp count to power bigger turns.
