Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Withering Curse is a classic black sweeper with a nasty upgrade, fitting best into control or lifegain-midrange shells that want to turn stabilization into a full reset. At baseline, {1}{B}{B} for -2/-2 to all creatures is excellent against token boards, mana dorks, and early aggressive starts, especially when you need a cheap way to preserve your own life total and buy a turn. The Infusion rider is what makes it mythic-worthy: if you’ve gained life this turn, it becomes a true wrath and destroys all creatures instead. That means deckbuilding around incidental lifegain pays off hugely—cards like lifelink creatures, draining permanents, or even small life gain triggers can turn this into a one-sided blowout. In a Strixhaven-flavored setting, it feels like a forbidden lesson in attrition: weaken first, then erase. Pair it with resilient threats or planeswalkers so you can clear the board while keeping pressure on.
