The curse of Narukami

Took a while experimenting with this deck. For some reason I thought I had to combo out a bunch of hand items like ritual candles and such. Familiar spirits, Astral Mirrors and a whole bunch of nonsense were supposed to help with that but, fter some trimming, reasonable restraint and the new occult reliquary permanent, it turned out you can achieve a functioning balance between power AND efficiency.

So lets first address the elephant in the room. Obviously people are not going to thank you for adding a bunch of curse tokens in the chaos bag, no matter how much fun you personally are having with them. We do have some ways to make up for it though if you happen to be at the same location with them. Blasphemous covenant is obviously a bonus, but the main combo is turning those curses into blesses with tides of fate and then using them before the clock strikes midnight and they turn back into pumpkins. We start with Rite of Sanctification to help our friends play things cheaper, but with a little experience we can forgo the mythos phase entirely with a watchful peace and even Hallow. It's one thing to burn your bless tokens when your deck needs them, but when it doesn't... that's when these cards really shine. People think of them as bless cards, but they really fit better with curses if you think about it.

Prismatic Spectacles and Armageddon are your bread and butter actions when it comes to abusing curses, but there's something to be said about the new and improved Spectral Razor and Read the Signs. Essentially, in a deck that is looking to throw out curse tokens, they become an engine in themselves, spells with practically infinite recharges and really powerful at that.

And finally you have Shrine of the Morai. A bit of a luxury item I know, but if you can manage to keep bringing back favor of the moon, while abusing Fey, Read the Signs and Spectral Razor, well... there's not much that can go wrong
