Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis enchantress control build helmed by Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor. The game plan revolves around deploying Curses onto opponents to generate attrition, constrain resources, and burn life totals. Lynde breaks the inherent parity of Curses by recycling them from the graveyard whenever they are sacrificed or when an enchanted player is eliminated, attaching them to herself before passing them to opponents during upkeep to draw two cards. The deck uses pillowfort cards such as Propaganda, Crawlspace, and Silent Arbiter to stall opposing attacks while Curse of Misfortunes steadily tutors game-ending combinations like Curse of Bloodletting and Curse of Thirst. Backed by premium interaction including Fierce Guardianship, Deflecting Swat, and efficient board sweepers, the deck steadily exhausts the table until the accumulated Curses eliminate all three opponents.
