I don't know if blue is adding much value. some of the best curses are in black: Curse of Misfortunes, Curse of Death's Hold, Curse of Thirst, Accursed Witch  Flip, Bitterheart Witch - they are unfortunately very high casting....

not a curse tribal but Curse of the Cabal, Curse of Wizardry, Cursed Scroll.

If your set in blue maybe Volrath's Curse

Well, indeed, a lot of black curse are good, but I wanted to play with Fevered Visions like it was a curse to my enemy. So I cannot play without blue in this deck ;).

how about a self mill strategy and then an Open the Vaults? you can use Careful Study and Faithless Looting to fuel the graveyard and maybe able to attach multiple bloodlettings and pieced hearts in the same turn..

Well, I'll look for it in an other deck. I like the idea thanks

Curse of the Bloody Tome does literally nothing if you want to win with direct damage.

Spell Pierces, Spell Snares or Dispels would do more. Even Vapor Snags would be better, even though they don't deal damage.Oh and there's also Psionic Blast...

Well, you're right, thanks for this

As a suggestion Drift of Phantasms May help get out Fevered Visions & Dictate of Kruphix, however, it would have to replace Wall of Denial which would be bad vs. a deck which draws a lot of answers! Also is the Shield of the Righteous for your other walls only? As Wall of Denial cannot be equipped since it's targeting.

Shut your opponent out of the game completely by playing Knowledge Pool while your opponent is enchanted with Curse of Exhaustion XD

Charles_Grimlie and Lutachris23 thanks for your suggestions.

Indeed Drift of Phantasms may be good, maybe I could just replace Wall of Denial and put it in the sideboard if the opponent's has too many removals.

Knowledge Pool is really funny, maybe I can use it to replace Shield of the Righteous?

Anyway, I'll work on it, thanks

To make this competitive, I would add some of the following cards:

Fetchlands/fastlands/shocklands:

Spells (you need to be able to control the board better, things like Pacifism are not really good in the modern format):

I wanted to add Fetchlands/fastlands/shocklands later (I don't have enough money now), but you confirmed this idea. I made several tests and I put Pacifism to make Sphere of Safety more powerful but yeah, Lightning Bolt and Path to Exile are much better (again the problem here is my budget I'll see it later).

I did not know Idyllic Tutor and it could be awsome in this deck!

Anyway, thanks for the comment it's really helpful

Hum seems like a good idea, thanks

Love this! My friend played it in standard. Have you considered playing ghostly prison or days undoing? Ghostly prison is way cheaper than sphere of safety and if they are able to somehow get their whole hand down, days undoing fills it back up. Remand is a solid card and seriously busted in this. If you were to also make this a open the vaults deck, you should consider playing enchantment creatures like eidolon of rhetoric or aegis of the gods in sideboard for the burn match up. Speaking of sideboard, you need to run hurkyl's recall for affinity because it kills them on board and fills their hand and if you have an eidolon of rhetoric or rule of law on board then its basically a win right there. Also consider ebony owl netsuke for some extra damage, howling mine for more draw and thing in the ice for board state and bouncing. Thing in the ice is especially good against token decks and against vice of resurgence. if you were to play more enchantments you should consider oblivion ring or starfield of nyx. But, starfield does make you more susceptible to creature hate. if you can whipe their board with something like thing in the ice first, then you can slam starfield and get in with all your dudes. You need to be playing spells like spell sang or unsubstantiate or path to exile for matchups against deaths shadow infect or bogles. Since you don't have to play too much to win, you can play zo-zu the punisher for matchups like scapeshift and cards like pithing needle for tron and maybe ensnaring bride, but most people run a sideboard package for affinity and that will probably also work on pithing needle so sont rely on just that, your counterspells can slow them down a good bit. your bad match ups are decks that can empty their hands really quickly which is most of modern right now so you should focus on slowing the game down for at least your first couple of turns. Also consider graveyard hate like relic of progenitus for dredge and living end. Soul sisters can generate enough life each turn to stay alive so maybe run cards like anger of the gods or whipflare to hurt them and also token decks and if yo do play black, curse of deaths something is good against them. Mono green stompy is a tough one, just bounce their creatures in response to vines of the vastwood and when theyre tapped out. Consider running more creatures if match ups like esper conrol tend to be harder for you so you can kill their planeswalkers. Love this deck and have wanted to play around with it for a while now! Good Luck! :)

P.S. sorry about how unorganized this is
