I really like it though I don't think there are enough humans to have really be that good. You probably don't need the blue also. Its not that much of a pay off for extra mana problems.I like the idea though, sounds fun. +1

Yeah, I thought about that, too, on the blue. I cut them out for some in that I can sacrifice Bitterheart Witch very quickly to him, get a new curse attached to my opponent and then beat face with Archdemon of Greed. Its all win, but the curses will probably do their job first. Thanks!!

just wanted to let you know you still have Curse of Echoes with no way to play it lol

I agree that doesn't quite fit here - you are trying to make two decks out of one. It's either a curse deck or a demon deck. If you are gonna keep him how about adding Avacyn's Collar ? You'd get a lot more bang for your sac'ed-human buck.

jjddkk you can play Curse of Echoes with either Bitterheart Witch or Curse of Misfortunes

I have also been playing around with the idea of a curse deck and one thing that really helped me was to include Semblance Anvil it really speeds up the curses. I suggest 3x or 4x.

Also, do you really need that many Curse of Death's Hold ? Seems like serious overkill to me.

Not to be cruel, but an aggro deck will likely stomp this deck into the ground because you are lacking in early game blockers. Check out Timely Reinforcements.

As far as the early game blockers / additional humans goes... Gather the Townsfolk may be useful.

Curse of the Pierced Heart! Put them on a clock.

I agree I think Curse of the Pierced Heart works better than Curse of the Nightly Hunt

UPDATE: Trying out Falkenrath Aristocrat as a sac engine for my Bitterheart Witches and other humans. Quicker and less downside than Archdemon of Greed.

Curse of the Pierced Heart was supposed to be there instead of Curse of the Nightly Hunt. Had my cards in a rough pile and copied down the wrong one. Yay me.

I really really hesitate to use Timely Reinforcements as they are only Soldier tokens and not Humans. I'm sure R&D made sure of that knowing what was coming up with DKA.

Anyway - the goal is this: Turn 4 Falkenrath Aristocrat eats Gather the Townsfolk tokens, swing for 5-6 damage. Turn 5 Bitterheart Witch gets sacrificed to Aristocrat for a +1/+1 bump and places Curse of Death's Hold or Curse of Misfortunes or something appropriate onto my opponent, plus attacking with evasion. Win.

Try this:

x1

Seriously reconsidering the inclusion of white. Timely Reinforcements gets sided in every game, but maybe some more healthy removal would counterbalance that. Looking to go R/B with artifact ramp(Sphere of the Suns, 4 Solemns, etc.) with stronger sorceries.... The brew continues...

I really like your deck. Going to try to build one my own.

Thanks! The things I've noticed with it are that you need some way to ramp in colors that don't like to ramp and you need some sweepers to keep you safe. Curse of Misfortunes can do the cursing by itself.

Recalcitrant041 I built my curse deck a while back...and I love it...it's my pride and joy!!! In MTGO I only use 3x Bitterheart Witch as my creatures...I added 2 x Sphere of Safety and 2x Curse of the Bloody Tome which adds to the effect of Curse of Oblivion ...I also added 2x Witchbane Orb ...which makes u hexproof and protects from card abilities...the Sphere of Safety realllllly helps the deck...because towards the end game it prevents opponents from attacking...I've literally came back and won from 30-1 hp...bcuz of Sphere of Safety ...in my real-life deck I added Shimian Specter and get this... Havoc Festival which does something HORRIBLE when paired with Curse of Bloodletting ...hope this helps...let me know

@slickdanger Well the combo of Havoc Festival and Curse of Bloodletting wouldn't actually work as Havoc Festival only causes the opponent to lose half of their life and it's not actually damage. Just life loss. You'd want Wound Reflection instead.

My questions however is where does the blue mana come from for Curse of Echoes ?

Curse of Misfortunes is casting that, never you. It's an odd duck, yes, but one you've got in there to protect you in unexpected scenarios. It's worth the risk of being a dead card since its only a one of. Oh, plus Sphere of the Suns is any color ramp.

Yeah, I missed Sphere of the Suns .

great deck ideal i was thinking of doing the same but didnt know how i would go about this just gave me the lead in wut i want to do with it thanks for the ideal

Pentad prism can let you get out a curse of misfortunes as early as turn three.
