Corrupted is an ability word that gives a card different or additional characteristics if an opponent has three or more Poison counters.[1] It was introduced in Phyrexia: All Will Be One.[2]

Description

Poison counters have been a long-time favorite for Alternate-win conditions, but outside of a few individual cards, it's mostly been all or nothing. If you couldn't deliver the tenth poison counter, the first nine didn't matter much. Corrupted is a new ability word that highlights abilities that make cards stronger if an opponent has three or more poison counters.

Some corrupted abilities are activated. If you have a corrupted opponent, you can activate the ability, and if you don't, you can't. Other corrupted abilities are static, and their effects are active as long as an opponent has three or more poison counters. In multiplayer games, you need only one opponent to have three or more poison counters, not all of them.

Corrupted can be found on permanents, but there are also instants and sorceries with corrupted abilities. Some of these abilities provide additional effects if you have a corrupted opponent as the spell resolves. Others affect what a spell costs or what it can target.
