Curse of Obsession

Description

Curse of Obsession is a distinct enchantment card from the 2021 Midnight Hunt Commander subset in Magic: The Gathering. Designed as a red Aura Curse, this card carries a mana cost of {4}{R} and holds a mana value of 5. It is identified by card number 35 within the set, which bears the MIC set code. The card was illustrated by Irvin Rodriguez, whose artwork brings the card’s theme to life. As an Enchantment — Aura Curse, Curse of Obsession requires a player to be enchanted to activate its effects. The card’s mechanics create a high-risk, high-reward dynamic typical of competitive play. At the beginning of the enchanted player’s draw step, that player draws two additional cards. However, this advantage comes with a steep penalty: at the beginning of the enchanted player’s end step, that player must discard their entire hand. This push-and-pull mechanic makes it a compelling choice for players looking to control the flow of cards in their games. The flavor text adds depth to the card’s narrative, hinting at a character driven to desperation and ruin by their own fixation. This thematic element resonates with collectors who appreciate the storytelling woven into Magic: The Gathering cards. The combination of strategic gameplay and evocative design makes Curse of Obsession a noteworthy addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are a seasoned player or a new collector, this card from the Midnight Hunt set offers both mechanical intrigue and artistic appeal.
