Hey Lillibritches! Number 1 Piece of advice: add Hall of Heliod's Generosity
I've been working on a curse deck for years. I created a vampire curse deck six years ago Cursing vampires, then completely overhauled it twice and have been working on a b/w control version for the past two years (url because I can't seem to get the internal link to work for it) https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/nymphrodells-modern-curses-1/. I am curious as to why you have two copies of most of the curses you are playing. It looks like you're trying to hard cast 7 and 8 mana spells in modern... which just isn't feasible, even with Accursed Witch Flip transformed. If you're worried about your curses being removed and not having more copies, Hall of Heliod's Generosity gives you a way to retrieve them.
Speaking of her, she is far too slow and clunky. You have to either draw a removal spell (which you only have two copies of) and use it on her, or wait for your opponent to kill her (which they won't do if they're playing carefully). Either way you have to wait until turn 5 at the earliest to pay 1 less mana for your curses. Which sounds great, except you've probably spent mana to kill her so you actually can't cast a meaningful curse that you wouldn't've been able to without Accursed Witch Flip in the first place. If you want a card that reduces the mana cost of your curses, I would suggest Hero of Iroas, though I am still unconvinced on its reliability it is much more reliable than Accursed Witch Flip.
I hope my advice helps!

Chaddish it hasn't been optimised as my partner hasn't figured out what she likes/dislikes about it yet, and as it's her first EDH deck it's not going to be super competitive yet. As well as that, it's more of a social deck too.
That being said, there are a couple of wincons. The less obivous and more difficult is draining your opponents out,Cauldron Familiar doesn't target so you can start the incremental damage there. If you're smart with the curses, Trespasser's Curse, Curse of Fool's Wisdom and a flipped Accursed Witch Flip can start to add up. Torment of Scarabs and Cruel Reality can help here too but are reliant on them not wanting to lose resources, but that can still be helpful. Leechridden Swamp can add to this total too.
The clearest would be creature beatdown, 3/3 Demons from Tasha, the Witch Queen. It relies on opponents dealing damage to other opponents usually, but our playgroup is quite creature centric anyway. The curses can help here too; Curse of the Restless Dead, and Curse of Disturbance give you (and opponents) extra Zombies to push through some damage.
The most fun but least consistent way of winning is the wincons not in your deck - taking them via Tasha or other stealing means. A particular favourite of mine was Coffin Queen resurrecting a Gray Merchant of Asphodel for a double kill.
That being said, this deck is still in the early stages and will change over time - mostly as my partner figures out the way she wants to play the deck. At the moment it's a casual flavourful start, but I'll keep updating it as it gets more competitive too.

As far as i know, there's a rule that says that a card is resolved in the order of its text, which isn't exactly the case with Accursed Witch Flip. Following that rule, the text should say something like "...transform it and attach it to target player". (Of course, in better wording). That would be less confusing.
And, i never said that there's no logic. But logic alone doesn't make a game understandable. There are some rulings and card texts which can be confusing without good knowledge of the comprehensive rules. Magic has its weaknesses and one of them is its accessibility. If it would be perfect, every player could learn the full comprehensive rules simply through "learning by doing", which isn't the case. Otherwise, nobody would need websites or threads like these.
And, by the way, i didn't ask the question because i wanted to discuss the quality of the wording or rules. I have the answer i wanted, so please consider this post as closed (as far as i can close a post).

Targets are chosen when an ability goes on the stack, but the effect doesn't do anything until it resolves. At that point the instructions are followed in the order written. The LTB ability is from a card named Accursed Witch Flip that is in the graveyard. So protection from cards named Accursed Witch Flip will prevent you being chosen as a valid target, despite the curse that would be attached have a different name.
They don't mention this because it is how the game works 100% of the time. The rules of magic will sometimes produce a counter intuitive result, but they are always followed completely logically.

Thank you for this advice, but actually i just needed to know how the interaction between both cards works. I think the wording of Accursed Witch Flip could be more accurate regarding the order in which the single effects of the second ability happen.

Unfortunately it isn't as simple as "you're safer naming Infectious Curse". If you aren't worried about exactly the case of Infectious Curse being moved onto you from someone else it is better to name Accursed Witch Flip since that also gives you protection from a 4/2 creature as well as the ability from the card after it dies.

Accursed Witch Flip triggers when it does (i.e. is put into the graveyard from the battlefield), so it's in the graveyard when it triggers.
If you want to avoid this effect, name Infectious Curse with Runed Halo, so the enchantment can't affect you at all.

It targets as the Accursed Witch Flip in the GY and enchants as Infectious Curse. Naming either side will keep you from having it attached to you from the death trigger. If you are in a multi-player game they could attach Infectious Curse to another player and move it to you if you had named Accursed Witch Flip.
