Deck overview

This deck is a Mardu Curse-control strategy led by Ghen, Arcanum Weaver. The primary game plan accelerates early mana with low-cost rocks and tutors, deposits high-mana Curses into the graveyard with Entomb or Bitter Reunion, and uses Ghen to swap cheap enchantments for game-warping bombs on turn 4. Cheating Curse of Misfortunes into play creates a compounding engine that tutors Overwhelming Splendor, Curse of Exhaustion, Curse of Bloodletting, and Cruel Reality directly onto opponents each turn for free. Defense relies on Sphere of Safety and Greater Auramancy to neutralize counterattacks and removal, while Captive Audience and Archon of Sun's Grace close out the game through token damage and life-drain. Although Ghen is exposed to removal before tapping and Curses must be applied player by player, dense tutoring and mass reanimation via Replenish provide high operational consistency.
