I have a certain love for the card Curse of Echoes, and by re-encountering Curse of Misfortunes I really wanted to make a deck that revolves around curses and make someone's life miserable!

The best way of doing is this, is by placing a Curse of Misfortunes on someone and laugh in his/her general direction. We have some ways of finding it and retrieving it from the graveyard, but I might want to add another 1 or 2 tutors. An especially nasty combination of curses (which we can start dishing out from turn 3 if we are lucky with draws) is overwhelming Splendor (card link not working for some reason) + Curse of Death's Hold which straight out murders any creature that opponent would play.

Returning curses to our own hand to save or re-apply them to someone else is a neat trick to keep the train rolling. Paradoxical Outcome for example is a nice way to counter mass enchantment removal, draw cards and refocus on that lovely person that just wanted to wipe away your work.

We are also able to dish out additional curses each turn thanks to Zur and there's always the possibilty of just murdering someone with commander damage. Adding some control and defense makes us last until the last opponent has died to his/her misery.

Adding Copy Enchantment is a great upgrade to the deck, but I still haven't acquired one. I might grab a Necropotence or Phyrexian Arena from other decks if the card draw/find is lackluster. It is still a work in progress and any suggestions are welcome~
