Corruption

I have not played in a while. Where I played the table rules were when a person left play he took his cards. As you relalize this could really hurt a corruption deck. If I spend all my time taking his vampires just to have him take them back when I oust him. Is this standard play in most games? What are the official rules?

The Golden Rule of Card Ownership |Your cards are never transferred to another player permanently |as a result of card play. At the end of the game, the cards you |began the game with are returned to you. If you are ousted, all |the cards you control are burned. Any of your opponents' cards |you may control are placed in their respective owners' ash |heaps (see Important Terms, sec. 1.1). Any of your cards that |other players control remain until the controlling players are |ousted. The only exception to this rule is the optional ante |(see Playing for Ante, sec. 2.4): ante cards may change |hands permanently. So after you oust your prey, you keep his vamps in your controlled region. Otherwise Followers of Set are pretty well useless. Having played a corruption deck at a tournament, I can say that they can be extremely effective. BTW - I made it to the finals and was summarily removed from play by the other four players (Bleed, Cross table bleed, vote and rush) since they knew that once I reached critical mass there was no stopping the onrushing hordes.

>>If you are ousted, all the cards you control are burned.<< So, if I have a minion with Charnas the Imp and I am ousted, then I can still move Charnas to another minion (not mine, of course). And, speaking of ousting, I understand that if my prey is ousted, then I get the victory point no matter how s/he was ousted (e.g. Anarch Troublemaker, Deflected bleed, etc.), correct?

No, because Charnas is burned as well (you control him, too). > And, speaking of ousting, I understand that if my prey is ousted, then > I get the victory point no matter how s/he was ousted (e.g. Anarch > Troublemaker, Deflected bleed, etc.), correct?
