BS14-X02

Spell Blight (呪滅撃, Jumetsu geki) is a keyword introduced in BS14, exclusive to Purple Spirits, a modified version of Curse. The effect's text reads:

  • Spell Blight (When Destroyed by the Opponent)
    By sending an opposing Life to the Trash, this Spirit remains on the Field, refreshed.


Although the keyword spawns from Curse, the effect works completely different to Curse. Curse works offensively, and the theme is all about bringing the opponent down together. On the other hand, Spell Blight is more effective defensively, as remaining on the field, refreshed, means providing an unrestricted blocker for the rest of the turn, as well as giving detriments to the opponent.

Unfortunately, Spell Blight is still weak to all other kinds of removals that aren't destruction, since the effect only activates upon destruction by the opponent. The effect is also using the "By doing A, do B" wording, meaning that if the Spirit with Spell Blight either can't reduce the opposing Life (e.g. the opponent has used Delta Barrier for the turn), then Spell Blight can't activate at all.

Despite being related to Curse in terms of mechanics, Spell Blight isn't treated as a "Curse"-named keyword due to different spellings.
