This is a Curse Deck and it is designed to plague your strengths while damaging you at your upkeep. All the deck i build are under 25$ dollars and this one is no exception.
The design of the deck revolves around getting out
Curse of Misfortunes
as fast as possible while ramping up mana with
Infernal Plunge
, Leaden Myr, and
Iron Myr
. Most of my spells are 5 CMC so casting them early is very important.
Curse of Misfortunes
allows me to search for curses from my deck and react to each of my opponents deck/play style, while most opponents are not used to having to counter so many enchantments(if any at all). This allows me to play my bigger curses comboing
Curse of Thirst
with other curses like Curse of Bloodletting and Curse of the Pierced Heart.
Curse of Thirst
is one of the staple curses of the deck, it's usually the first or second curse ill search for.
Curse of Bloodletting can be brutal to opponents, it allows all the damage done from
Curse of Thirst
and Curse of the Pierced Heart to double, plus it stacks with itself. Having two of them means four times the damage. Pretty often I've been able to get 2 Curse of Bloodletting out on a single turn, sometimes adding as much as 32 extra damage on their upkeep.
Bitterheart Witch
is a real nasty card for this deck because it not only can buy me some ramp up time, but when it does die, I can choose a curse from my deck and attach it to any opponent. Maybe another
Curse of Misfortunes
for double the pain.
For token or white wienie deck I'll search for a
Curse of Death's Hold
first, it can outright kill most tokens coming onto the battlefield.
Curse of the Pierced Heart is just a low cost curse that also does damage, being able to add a curse on early turns helps to ramp up the curses.
Infernal Plunge
,
Iron Myr
, and Leaden Myr all preform the same function, to ramp up mana as fast as possible. It's quite common to cast 5 CMC spells on turn 2 or 3.
As you can see, I don't have any Plains or Islands but
Curse of Misfortunes
lets me play Curse of Echoes and Curse of Exhaustion without playing their mana costs and can really hurt control or tempo styles while still having synergy with my other curses like
Curse of Thirst
.
So any help, feedback, or discussion I would love, and as usual, +1's are much appreciated. Thanks for taking a look!
