Absorb Disease - defeater of spells, events & blood abilities

arrow

This card is used to redirect, or even defeat an incoming spell, event, or blood ability. This retargets an incoming card and pulls it to the champion, regardless of the situation.

However, this champion doesn't need to take the effect on that champion, and would drain away with no effect, if the champion using Absord Disease is immune to the incoming card.

Therefore, good champions to use Absorb Disease include Caller in Darkness (70/NS), Highmaster Illithios (21/DU-chase), or champions using immunity attachments, such as Dark Haven (188/4th) or Pearl Pegasus (70/DU).

However, without the immunity to effectively allow Absorb Disease to become a counter, this allows you only to choose to change the target of the spell, ability, or event, therefore only being useful if your deck resolves around a single champion like Highmaster Illithios.

Unless you are working for the combination or to protect the single power champion, this card is not worth it and one shouldn't expect to see it much in tournaments.
