Rulings

10/4/2004	The swamps are counted on resolution.
8/15/2010	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).
8/15/2010	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.
7/1/2013	Corrupt counts any land you control with the subtype Swamp, not just ones named Swamp.
10/14/2022	Corrupt counts any land you control with the subtype Swamp, not just ones named Swamp.
