- If a minion affected by Corruption is stolen, no matter how many times it is stolen, it will still trigger to die in the next Start of Turn Phase of Corruption's caster. (Before Patch 5.0.0.12574 (WotOG patch), it would trigger at the start of the newest controller's turn regardless of number of steals.) [1]
