Item Description

Some curses sting; Cruel Reality bleeds a player dry. Attach this Aura Curse to a player and, at the beginning of each of their upkeeps, they must sacrifice a creature or planeswalker of their choice. If they have neither, they lose 5 life instead. Either way, every one of their turns starts with a loss, and the pressure compounds fast once their board is thin.

At seven mana it is a big investment, but it is the kind of card that ends long, grindy games. Mono-black control decks can sweep the board and then let the curse keep it clean, and Commander players running Curse themes love it as a top-end finisher aimed squarely at the table's biggest threat. Token makers and recursion can blunt it, so it shines brightest against slower, creature-light opponents.

This is the Amonkhet printing, collector number 84, illustrated by Kieran Yanner, offered here in non-foil or foil. Its flavor text captures Gideon's admiration of the city of Naktamun turning to horror as he watches an initiate's deadly trials up close, a dark glimpse at the set's story.
