I haven’t seen this pop up yet, so I thought I’d make my own topic.
-
If a card with Corrupt gets its cost reduced and a spell with a greater cost then the reduced cost but the same as or greater than the normal Corrupt cost, will that Corrupt the card?
-
If a large spell gets its cost reduced, maybe to 0 by Kael’thas or something, will it set off Corrupt on all cards with a lower mana cost than the original cost of the spell played at a reduced cost?
-
If the cost of a spell is paid for in health rather than mana, will that spell also set off Corrupt on cards in hand as it would if it was normally cast?

On questions 1 and 2: Corrupt only cares about how much the card currently costs, so if a card’s cost is reduced below that of the Corrupt card, it won’t trigger Corrupt. Source:
I haven’t seen anything about question 3. It’s possible that it still would work.

That’s a cool thought for #3, You raise a valid point… but I guess it is only valid in wild and I guess the only good target is probably twisting nether, maybe doom but I think you’d rather not take 2 more damage and I think 8 cost would activate all the corrupts anyway. A secondary thought if you bloodbloom->doom->Do you draw and then it does the effect or does it do the effect and then you draw?
I forget what exact cards allow for blood magic. Was there a neutral card that did it or is it only available to certain classes?
As far as I can tell, cards that allow you to play cards by spending Health instead of Mana are Warlock-only (Seadevil Stinger, Bloodbloom, Cho’gall).
But cho’gall is too expensive and seadevil stinger doesn’t have many good targets that are big enough.
G’huun definitely makes this interesting. What happens when you draw Darkmoon Rabbit and summon it while you have an uncorrupted Carnival Clown in hand? What happens when G’huun draws a Corrupted card so it has no more mana cost? Etcetera.
