Nurgle Sorcerer - Warhammer: Invasion

The forces of Chaos extend to spelling.
There is one main reason I chose to do this card, but let's look at a few other things first. The art is a decaying humanoid with horns, a skull stuff, and sorcerer robes. With how dull the rest of the colors are, it makes the green shooting from its hand and glowing from the skull on its side really pop out. While I understand this is meant to be a battle scene, I really don't like that the background is just a dusty mess. I do however like the few discernible figures you can see among the dirt.

The ability is okay, the main thing I like is the the corrupted clause. It lets new players know that corruption is something this card and faction cares about, while also piquing their interest to look up what the corruption mechanic actually is and how it works in the game.

Now, to the main course. Look at the name of the card. Now look at the card's traits. Notice a discrepancy. In the name, the spelling is "sorcerer" with an "e". But in the trait line, it's spelled "sorceror" with an "o". I have no idea how this got past the editors, but it looks really awkward having it spelled two different ways on the same card.
