I'd say this card is pretty valuable. 4 random anoints already has a value of a good amulet or more and you have amulet explicits on top of them. Even more - it's influenced item, meaning you can get Shaper or Hunter mods on them, that you can't get when corrupting Stranglegasp.
Also, think deeper - you can use mystic orbs on them and turn them into a 4-anoint unique onyx amulet like Astramentis or Yoke of Suffering.
You can also reroll corrupted rare items with tainted chaos orbs.

This is some reckless optimism right here.

Someone else mentioned talismans and yeah, these are so much worse. 4 random anoints does not have the value of of a 'good amulet'. Even if one of the anoints requires golden oils to craft this still has little value. The influence aspect on its own is another major RNG and even if you landed 1 great mod the rest of the item is still likely useless.

Tainted Mythic orbs? Unless your name is slippery jim, nobody is doing that gamble. How many amulets is it going to take before your amulet A)doesn't get destroyed and B)isn't a carnage heart? You're probably looking at 30-40 GOOD amulets just to land that and are the anoints going to add value equal to the cost? You can get 1 ideal anoint on a regular amulet and two good anoints probably isn't worth the cost so ~35ish amulets with 3-4 ideal anoints? Yikes.

I could see someone putting in the effort if these cards were a stack of 3. 8 is A LOT of work.
