Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis Curse Enchantress strategy helmed by Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor. The game plan revolves around enchanting opponents with debilitating Curses, sacrificing those Curses to bring them back attached to you via Lynde's triggered ability, and then reattaching them to opponents on your upkeep to draw two cards. The primary win condition builds through Curse of Misfortunes, which automatically tutors Curses from the library directly onto the battlefield. Combining Curse of Bloodletting with Curse of Thirst, Cruel Reality, and Torment of Scarabs creates an escalating damage clock that drains opponents during their upkeeps. Constellation creatures such as Grim Guardian, Forgeborn Oreads, and Thoughtrender Lamia supplement the drain plan by converting recurring enchantment entries into life loss and hand disruption. The deck operates as a slow, deliberate attrition machine that grinds through opponents' life totals while drawing extra cards each turn.
