Just in case u didn't know. There's a whole deck in legacy that plays curses, its janky but can still steal some games, and the main curse they use is curse of misfortunes which lets you tutor into play any curse each of your upkreps
@Necroskull388 Жыл бұрын
Curse of Misfortunes is probably a design mistake, since it limits how powerful Wizards can reasonably make newly printed curses, but it’s also REALLY funny.
@antarath517 Жыл бұрын
One other thing on Fraying Sanity: cloning it acts as a pseudo-doubler, so 2 curses would cause someone to mill 4 times as much and 3 curses would mill 8 times as much. Also, Curse of the Bloody Tome is good to put on yourself if you have graveyard interaction, it's not only good for mill synergy like Fraying Sanity.
@satansamael666 Жыл бұрын
Another thing of note, you can technically curse yourself with that. That makes it actually a potential CEDH mill storm card for a very long time.

My absolutely favorite Curse of all time is Curse of Exhaustion. We don't realize how important casting 2+ spells per turn is to winning, so this 4 mana enchantment makes it extremely difficult for a deck to win. While this is specifically referring to EDH, I wouldn't be surprised if it was also true for Modern.

A couple additional uses for cards you mentioned that come to my mind: Trespasser's is used in a janky deck called Dagger Burn, which summons tokens for the opponent with Panharmonicon like doublers to maximize damage. Pierced Heart not only serves as a clock, but it also enables things like Needle Drop and Skewer the Critics. And, like other comments mentioned, I think Misfortunes also deserved a spot on the list.

Surprised Curse of Misfortunes wasn't mentioned anywhere, since it's the easiest way to get Overwhelming Splendor out and one (pretty mad) Legacy decks uses it to do exactly that.

It appears that you may have misunderstood the intent and use case for "Curse of the Bloody Tome". That card isn't actually a Mill card. It may technically perform that function, but that isn't its intended use case. Instead, that it meant as library distrubtion, or "anti-filtering". It's there specifically to prevent opponents from successfully top-decking their intended cards on their next turn when being filtered by activated abilities the turn prior (such as with Sensei's Divning Top). That's why so many players included it as a sideboard option. It's really useful if you know your opponent is running heavy Blue, but rarely outside of it.

While not being top tier decks, mono black curses that uses curse of misfortune to tutor overwhelming splendor, curse of death's hold, cruel reality while being a black stompy prison while also threatening a helm of obedience kill is not unplayable in legacy. Nic fit variants that play academy rector to tutor curses while also not a top tier deck, is still occasionally seen as a pet deck to legacy boomers.

Pierced Heart is pretty solid if you put it with Captive Kingpin. He gets a +1/+1 anytime someone takes exactly 1 damage from any source. I run that, Underworld Dreams, Syr Carah, etc. All the things that ping every turn. If they don't get rid of him quick, he'll get rid of them.

Problem with how you judge commander cards is you always judge by cEDH standards which is the tiniest fraction of commander players. There are very few cards that are cEDH viable which is why the format as a whole isn't viewed as competitive in the same way that modern and other 60 card formata are.
