Deck overview

This is a Grixis Curse enchantress attrition deck helmed by Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor. The plan is to flood the board with Curses and enchantment creatures, then weaponize Lynde's unique recursion loop: whenever a Curse dies, it returns attached to you, and on your upkeep you may re-gift it to an opponent and draw two. That engine turns removal into card advantage and keeps the table under permanent upkeep taxes. Primary wins come from stacked life-drain constellation and eerie triggers (Grim Guardian, Balemurk Leech, Wicked Visitor), punishing Curses (Cruel Reality, Curse of Thirst, Torment of Scarabs, Grievous Wound), and go-wide Zombie tokens from attack- and landfall-Curses. There are no infinite combo lines; the deck grinds value until opponents collapse under repeated taxes and combat. Lynde is the central draw-and-recycle engine, but the 99 still deploys Curses and constellation payoffs without her.
