Blight Curse (upgraded) by ImpendingDune

Format: Commander

Commander: Auntie Ool, Cursewretch

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

An aggressive -1/-1 counter engine deck built around Auntie Ool, Cursewretch and the hidden commander Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons. It aims to put -1/-1 counters on creatures to draw cards and drain life, then combine Blowfly Infestation with Flourishing Defenses to create an infinite loop of dying 1/1 tokens, finished by Blood Artist or Grave Venerations. The commander is a value piece, not the engine; the deck works even if she stays in the command zone. Secondary plans use wither and proliferate to grind opponents, and creature theft (Necroskitter, The Reaper) to convert counters into board advantage. Speed is moderate; the combo requires assembling several one-of pieces.
