Deck overview

This deck is a dedicated Grixis Curse and pillowfort strategy commanded by Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor. The primary game plan focuses on establishing defensive barriers such as Propaganda, Koskun Falls, and Crawlspace while deploying single-target Curses onto high-priority opponents. Curse of Misfortunes acts as the deck's primary engine, tutoring lethal payoffs like Cruel Reality, Curse of Fool's Wisdom, and Curse of Bloodletting directly onto the battlefield each upkeep. When cursed opponents perish or destroy your enchantments, Lynde catches the Curses in the graveyard and returns them to your side of the battlefield, allowing you to reattach them to fresh targets while drawing two cards each upkeep. The deck features strong uncounterable redundancy via cards like Chimil, the Inner Sun and Hexing Squelcher, backed by diverse reactive removal and mass bounce spells to stall opposing aggression until Curse attrition eliminates the table.
