Artifact (1)


Sling curses at your friends and strangers. Somehow survive. Defending against creatures without creatures is tricky.

Update: I have learned how patience can win a game. My deck themes are usually aggressive and playing a curse enchantment deck has taught me how to play and win defensively. Let's be honest, curse decks do not win too often, and could be seen as the opposite of a group hug theme. The chances of nabbing a win are slim. So, after playing many games I could definitely recommend this as a team deck for 2v2 or similar such matches. Having someone play on the offensive or just someone to assist in general can be a game changer.

I did not want to rely much on creatures, so the ones that are in the deck are purely defensive, and are not meant to be used in attacking. We let the enchantments do the work for us. There are many curses we could use, I tried to keep them focused on a task that either damages Maddening Hex or maims their board state Curse of Verbosity or the like. I found Curse of Shallow Graves to be too slow and had to be replaced. Just because it's a curse, doesn't mean we have to cram it into the deck. Find a card that actually puts out work instead of having tunnel vision for the sake of the theme.

Many players underestimate the power of The Reality Chip. Being able to play cards from the top of your deck really is too fun. I'd shudder if it was paired with a Sensei's Divining Top.

I made sure to add in some instant and sorcery spells for control and take measures against every permanent type I could Vandalblast. Keep opponent creatures in check with board wipes Blood Money. I have had this common enchantment Trespasser's Curse stall many token generators for too many turns.

If I pull this deck out for a FFA, I know I am not likely going to win. It really gives me a challenge to increase my bluff skills, play on the 2nd main phase, and try not to draw attention from the start.
