Rulings
- October 4, 2004 — The swamps are counted on resolution.
- August 15, 2010 — The life you gain is equal to the damage dealt by Corrupt, not necessarily to the number of Swamps you control (if some or all of the damage is prevented, for example).
- August 15, 2010 — The amount of damage dealt to a creature is not bounded by its toughness, and the amount of damage dealt to a player is not bounded by that player's life total. For example, if Corrupt deals 6 damage to a 2/2 creature, you'll gain 6 life.
- July 1, 2013 — Corrupt counts any land you control with the subtype Swamp, not just ones named Swamp.
- October 14, 2022 — Corrupt counts any land you control with the subtype Swamp, not just ones named Swamp.
