Rulings

  1. 2024-06-07 · wotc — The value of X is calculated only once, as Consuming Corruption resolves.
  2. 2024-06-07 · wotc — If the target creature or planeswalker is an illegal target as Consuming Corruption tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't gain life.
