![]() I guess I still like the design, and I'd rather much get an underpowered Commander rather than the next Golos, Tireless Pilgrim, I just wish she wasn't so slow. On the plus side, this does encourages good gameplay since spreading out the love is the best way to ensure a sudden player death won't be followed by your own, plus from the current wording Curse reattachments should get around player hexproof, but still forces you to err on the side of caution, especially against Bane of Progress-like effects. Bonus: Accursed Witch, Curse of Leeches, and Leeching Lurker. Sure, you may want to make that poor schmo with Curse of Misfortunes as miserable as possible but you'll also find out you don't want him to die too soon because the Curses will come back to you and moving them around once per turn really ain't fast enough. What happens if your Infectious Curse is destroyed while you control Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor. Hell Id even encourage it because it sounds. Illustration done for Magic: the Gathering: Midnight Hunt Commander (MIC) Wizards of the Coast. We need a card for that poor guy already.Īs for the card itself, it's neat that we finally got a Curse Commander but she doesn't seems THAT great? I mean draw 2 is neat but you'll have to attach the Curse to yourself first and then ensure Lynde survives a whole turn cycle, OR you could blow up the Curse at the last minute and then move it around which would be great were it not for the fact you are playing the worst colors to get rid of Enchantments.Īlso, note that reattaching the Curses to yourself is NOT optional. Curses have never been popular in cedh and edh in general but with this new commander and all the new curses coming in innistrad do you think we can brew a cedh curse deck, Can you attempt to brew an interesting, 'competitively-minded' curse-based EDH deck Of course. MtG - Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor From The Artist. Being on the receiving end of a curse deck when you weren't expecting it is no fun at all, so make sure your table knows what it's getting itself in for when you shuffle up.OK, the Unluckiest doll got me good.

Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor is a 2/4 Human Warlock with Deathtouch who costs one generic, one blue, one black, and one red mana. While not necessarily powerful, this is a deck you'll want to make the table aware of in your rule zero discussion. At the very least, Mogis is indestructible, and so a perfect tool for brute-forcing enemies down in combat. If Triskaidekaphobia is plan B, plan C is to pull the table down to zero life with cards like The Meathook Massacre, Xantcha, Sleeper Agent, and Mogis, God of Slaughter. Use something like Exsanguinate to get enough players down to that amount and you could knock out multiple players in one turn. You'll be gradually sapping the table's life each turn, and Triskaidekaphobia knocks anybody out of the game if they are at 13 life exactly on your upkeep. Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor Magic the Gathering Art from Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Set by Anna Steinbauer. If the plan of draining through the Curse of Thirst and Syr Konrad isn't enough for you, Triskaidekaphobia is a neat card to include. Lynde is a curse slinger par excellence, able to recur our curse from the grave and back onto our foes even as our opponents are able to rid themselves of them, even turning them into card advantage as we do.

Tidal Barracuda is one of my favourite Magic cards ever made, and it really comes into its own with Lynde. Stock up on pillow fort pieces like the aforementioned Ever-Watching Threshold and Propaganda to prevent direct attacks, and use tax pieces like Callaphe, Beloved of the Sea to stave off targeted removal.
