Curses and Blim, Comedic Genius

Asked by ChaoticGnat 3 years ago

While upgrading from Blim to Lynde a question came to mind about Blim and curses, i figured out that i own and control curses placed on other players, but can i relinquish control of a curse attached to a player to another player, and does the curse get attached to the player i choose with Blim or does the control of the curse change without it leaving the original player it was attached to?

You can use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference pop-up. It's the best way to make sure everyone understands what's going on with your question: Blim, Comedic Genius, Curse of the Nightly Hunt (for an example of a curse)

The curse will stay attached to whoever it's enchanting. Changing control of an aura doesn't cause it to move.

It's important to pay close attention to what the "Enchant N" ability says, because in some cases this may cause the aura to fall off. For example, if you gave control of Dead Man's Chest to the same player who controls the enchanted creature, it would fall off because it's not attached to one of their opponents' creatures.

A lot of the time, this will work fine. Curse of the Nightly Hunt will function identically after you give the opponent control. However, some curses (like Curse of Silence or Curse of Opulence) reference "you," meaning the player who controls it (generally the caster) or instruct you to do something. If you give control of these curses to the opponent, they'll get the benefit as well as the drawback.
