This deck is my personal take on Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor Curses! It contains every single Grixis Curse.*

This deck is a first draft! But here are my intentions with the cards I owned for this. -Have enough mana to keep up, and enough bodies to protect you and potentially Lynde. -Enough tutor energy to fetch the curses you want in a pinch. -Some mean threats that will hopefully be targeted OVER Lynde, or if not, provide lots of value. -Copies! Play with other folks stuff or use Mirrormade, Clever Impersonator, or Sakashima's Protege to copy your curses! (These won't come back to bite you if they get removed, but you won't get to reapply them without creature recursion, nor will you get the 2-card draw from Lynde for that effect!) -NOT necessarily going to be a win deck... I built this with the gimmick of curses and purely the chaos that can ensue!

*Only the cards which are literally "Aura - Curses" that synergize with Lynde's ability. There are "curses" that are enchantments but not curse auras- as well as many other cards which also have "curse" in their Card Name. I have not included any of these but if you want the flavor, go for it!

NOTES: These curses, when they recur back onto you due to Lynde, can be REALLY nasty against yourself. So this deck is definitely a give and take chaotic mess. If your curses get destroyed and go to your graveyard, you have to think very carefully about how long you can survive or endure their effects before your upkeep! That could mean 1-3 turns potentially of you dealing with the effects of your own curse in a 4 player game! What goes around comes around! You don't get a choice whether to incur your own curses IF they go to the graveyard from the battlefield. Exile will remove them for good unless they are interrupted.

Here are some individual card notes! May add more for extra detail on my picks as I change/update the deck! -Role Reversal: This card can be VERY good in your hands. For 3 mana, you want to target one of your curses and any enchantment (or enchantment creature!!! Steal some Gods!) that an opponent controls. Here's the best part: When you play the curse, you choose the target... NOT when you control it. You otherwise are always in control of the curses. So when you exchange control of the target permanents, the curses' attached player does not change, nor does the new controller get to choose! This is a 3 mana steal any enchantment (or versatile enough to be used in other permanent cases as well if you don't want to do the above). This idea was given to me by my good friend Aaron!
