Commander / EDH*

Lutris


Maybeboard


With the printing of 5 new curses in Commander 2017, I was once again inspired to look at "curse" as a card type, and decided I wanted to make a curse based deck. It seemed that Grixis was the best color to be in to take advantage of the best curses, and that Nekusar the best "curse-like" commander.

I'm not sure how competitive this deck will be, but I think its going to be a lot of fun.

This deck is built with cars I had on hand, or could get cheaply, so it runs a budget mana base, and some substitutions which might not always be ideal:

Encroaching Wastes over Strip Mine

Mystic Remora over Rhystic Study

Jace's Archivist over Magus of the Wheel (although I think Archivist might just be better in this deck)

Kolaghan's Command over Cryptic Command

I think this can be a powerful deck. It needs some tweaks, and the first is to improve the mana base. To that end, I am adding a land and 2 mana rocks.

In: Path of Ancestry, Chromatic Lantern, Mind Stone (although a Fellwar Stone might be better), Price of Glory

Out: Consuming Aberration, Chasm Skulker, Dark Initmations, Vedalken Orrery

Both Chasm Skulker and the Aberration are good cards, but this is not really the deck for them. I am not winning with creatures, but with curses, and then, with fewer creatures, Dark Intimations becomes worse, especially since I'm not running any Nicol Bolas cards.

Vedalken Orrery is a great card but, from a flavor perspective, Price of Glory is the better card. Orrery might come back later though.
