That can be rough in a non-green tricolor deck, and will make it a tough tension between developing our curse engine and holding up mana for interaction/protection. Hitting a critical mass of curses for Lynde and protection for Lynde and ramp for your deck means it'll be hard to run a ton of creatures to reap the rewards of stuff like Curse of Stalked Prey, Curse of the Restless Dead, Curse of Inertia and Curse of Disturbance.ĥ) A lot of curses and their support cards are fairly expensive, as is Lynde especially if she dies a few times. (and it's even worse versus something like a Hour of Revelation since Lynde triggers to give you all your curses, and then goes to your Command Zone before she can shuffle any away).Ĥ) Many curses reward rumbling in combat and favoring a more aggressive style - but despite her Deathtouch, Lynde doesn't really wanna go attacking directly. That's awesome - until that opponent dies/scoops to your cruelty, at which point you get all the curses piled onto you if Lynne is on the table (and just lose all your curses forever is she's dead).ģ) You can spread the love instead - but then, you face the dilemma of getting absolutely demolished the first time anyone casts a way to remove all your enchantments like Cleansing Nova, Austere Command, etc. Her deck is going to be need to be absolutely loaded to the gills with all manner of ways to protect her.Ģ) The 'curses' strategy generally, and a few curses like Curse of Thirst and Curse of Surveillance explicitly, want you to pile all your curses on one unlucky opponent. 1) Lynde's abilities require her to be on the battlefield having her eat removal prior to your upkeep when you are loaded with Curses is a total disaster depriving you of draw while forcing you to suffer your own voodoo.
