QuoteThe vile taint spreads like wildfire, consuming everything until no purity remains. None are safe from the temptations of corruption, for it is not some outward foe that can be met with blade and shield, but the recognition of the hidden lusts and desires that nestle in every being's soul.
Welcome back to the Warhammer: Invasion card of the week spotlight, in which we highlight a new upcoming card every week! It's November, and that means we have another installment of The Enemy Cycle to look forward to. Last week, we drank the murky waters of the Tainted Well, and we saw how it can be used to deal serious damage in a corruption-heavy deck. This week, the taint spreads to a place even more vital than your water supply... your very soul.
Thematically, corruption represents a character succumbing to his baser instincts and becoming incapacitated with fear, lust, rage, pain, insanity, or some other debilitating condition. Certain powerful effects like Effulgent Boils can make this state permanent, but for the most part it's only temporary. A character can journey inward and seek redemption, becoming "restored" as early as the start of the next turn. But what if there is no relief to be found? What if the sources of purity and redemption are themselves corrupted? What will stop the spread of corruption then?
Corruption of Purity is a Destruction-only neutral Tactic that exemplifies this unsettling scenario. Played in response to restoring effects like Blessing of Isha and Courage of Aenarion, it will set your opponent back in his attempts to combat corruption. What's more, Dark Elf players will find a new control combo when Corruption of Purity is coupled with Chillwind.
This, if you have the right quest and the right unit to go on it, could make them viable again...

QuoteThe Fourth Waystone, the fifth Battle Pack in The Enemy Cycle, will be on store shelves next week, and with it comes a host of new deck-building options. Over the past two weeks, we've seen the vile taint of corruption spread through Tainted Well and Corruption of Purity. This week, let's help even the score by taking a sacred journey with an upcoming Order-only neutral card, A Noble Quest.
Though thematically engaging, Quest cards can often be an afterthought when deck-building. Their effects usually require that you amass a sum of resource tokens over a series of turns by placing a unit on that Quest. However, if the unit leaves that Quest for some reason, any resources you collected are lost. So while the Quest card effects may be attractive, triggering them requires a hefty commitment.
But what if it were easier? A Noble Quest is a zero-cost Order-only neutral tactic that allows its player to place one resource token on a Quest card, if a unit is questing there. With inexpensive Quest cards like Prepare for War, Reclaim the Hold, and Repair the Waystones, A Noble Quest helps make the commitment worthwhile and the strategy viable. And remember, Ancient Map is a good way to make sure that your best Quest card hits the table early.
