French	Les Puissances de la Ruine	Enchantement	Au début de votre entretien, choisissez un adversaire au hasard. Exilez la carte du dessus de la bibliothèque de ce joueur. Jusqu'à la fin du tour, vous pouvez jouer cette carte et vous pouvez dépenser du mana comme s'il s'agissait de mana de n'importe quelle couleur pour la lancer. Quand vous lancez un sort de cette manière, son propriétaire perd un nombre de points de vie égal à sa valeur de mana.	581441
German	Die Mächte der Verderbnis	Verzauberung	Zu Beginn deines Versorgungssegments bestimmst du per Zufall einen Gegner. Schicke die oberste Karte der Bibliothek jenes Spielers ins Exil. Bis zum Ende des Zuges kannst du die Karte spielen, und um sie zu wirken kannst du Mana ausgeben, als wäre es Mana einer beliebigen Farbe. Wenn du auf diese Weise einen Zauberspruch wirkst, verliert sein Besitzer Lebenspunkte in Höhe seines Manabetrags.	581121

Quando lanci una magia in questo modo, il suo proprietario perde punti vita pari al suo valore di mana.	581601
Japanese	禍つ神々	エンチャント	あなたのアップキープの開始時に、対戦相手１人を無作為に選ぶ。そのプレイヤーのライブラリーの一番上にあるカード１枚を追放する。ターン終了時まで、あなたはそのカードをプレイしてもよく、マナを望む色のマナであるかのように支払ってそれを唱えてもよい。これによりあなたが呪文を唱えたとき、それのオーナーはそれのマナ総量に等しい点数のライフを失う。	581761
