Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"The main win con is Bola's Citadel as you can sac all of your curses and they come back so you can do it again. The deck is still being built to include more deadly creatures that deter attacks and more answers.\n\nPros: curses are low impact enough that opponents are likely not going to waste precious resources on them unless they have multiple on them. Enchanting players is a good way to get heat off you as opponents will interact with the cursed player to gain their advantage.\nCons: Deck is fragile and needs Lynde and the citadel to win. Without them, the deck is more annoying than anything.\n"}]}
