Flying, lifelink If you would gain life, you gain twice that much life instead.

Modern 19 Eng.FUsr.—

Atraxa (77) is a far stronger expensive cheat target, while Selenia neither affects the board immediately nor supplies cards; six mana is a severe cost.

Band speculativeConfidence 68%

Could be wrong if A resilient way to reanimate and sacrifice it repeatedly could turn the Curse into a niche payoff.

Legacy 16 Eng.FUsr.—

Legacy demands exceptional payoff from expensive creatures: Atraxa (83) and Murktide (83) dwarf this delayed, low-power threat.

Band speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if Fast reanimation plus a repeatable sacrifice line could create a presently unshown niche.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—

Commander 48 Eng.C-Usr.—

A repeatable lifegain doubler with flying lifelink is solid in matching decks, and its death Curse pressures one opponent, but six mana and 2 power limit breadth.

Could be wrong if Its adoption rises if optimized lifegain decks can protect, recur, or deliberately sacrifice it efficiently.

Limited 79 Eng.A-Usr.—

A 2/5 flying lifelink stabilizes races, and killing it leaves an opponent taking double life loss; that delayed Curse makes it a premium rare threat.

Best home Black-white midrangeBand first-pickConfidence 39%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, removal, and fixing may make the six-mana color requirement or exile/bounce answers more punishing.

Lifegain doubler finisher

“A slow, fragile six-drop whose death Curse is potent in combat but lacks a demonstrated competitive shell.”
