Random card #9: Curse of the Pierced Heart

Innistrad introduced a new subtype for enchantment: curse. They are auras that can enchant any player. Curse are in every color but not in green. It's weird that we have white curse, according to the story of Innistrad, white is the 'good' color. Why would white mage curse someone? Curse doesn't have any rules attached to it, but other cards can refer to it.

Curse had been in common to rare, so we have powerful quite to lame card.

This card is not too bad, but not too good either. This curse will slowly reduces life of a player and grinds his last life point. It reminds us of card like Wanderlust. You can't control when you want to use it, since it will trigger only during the player's upkeep.

So, infortunately, this card don't work with bloodthirst creature. It could have been more interesting if it triggers during your upkeep.

In Limited, it can help you win since games tend to last longer than in other formats. Other than that, this card isn't really playable.
