Corruption is a Rare Power card for the Ironclad.

After it is played, Corruption reduces the Energy cost of Skills to 0, but causes them to Exhaust.

Upon upgrade, it costs 1 less Energy to play it, from 3 to 2.

Interactions

• In concert with Dark Embrace, this card will let you rapidly cycle through every skill in your deck.
• The Dead Branch relic synergizes extremely well with this card, replacing every exhausted skill card with a new card (potentially another 0 cost skill). This minimizes the major drawback of Corruption, which is potentially draining your deck of defensive skills during a long battle.
• Feel No Pain allows a free 3-4 defense per exhausted card, significantly increasing Corruption's defensive capabilities.
• When confused by Snecko or Snecko Eye, skills still cost 0.
• Strange Spoon gives a 50% chance for skills under the effects of this card to discard normally. This may not be helpful in all decks, however, as it reduces the benefits of other synergies like Dark Embrace, Dead Branch and Feel No Pain (as well as any strategic benefit from shrinking your draw pile).
