Curiosity
Enchantment — Aura
Enchant creature
Whenever enchanted creature deals damage to an opponent, you may draw a card.
*"Surely you know the joy of the hunt, my furry friend. My kind of hunt just takes a different form than yours."*
Why Play Curiosity
At just one mana, this aura transforms any evasive creature into a card draw engine that can quickly overwhelm opponents with resources. Aggressive blue decks love attaching it to flying creatures or unblockable threats to maintain pressure while refilling their hand. The key is selecting creatures that consistently connect with opponents—even a 1/1 flyer becomes a serious threat when drawing you cards every turn.Format Notes
Commander sees the heaviest play for this enchantment, where it's a budget staple in creature-based strategies and combo decks alike. Legacy and Vintage occasionally feature it in tempo builds that can protect the enchanted creature effectively. Modern usage is more niche, typically appearing in casual builds or fringe strategies, as the format's efficient removal makes auras risky investments.Combos & Synergies
The most famous interaction pairs it with Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind for an infinite damage combo—drawing cards triggers Niv-Mizzet's ability to deal damage, which triggers more card draw. Ophidian Eye provides redundancy for this same combo line. For more fair applications, creatures with built-in evasion like Shadowmage Infiltrator or those that create multiple damage instances maximize the card draw potential while staying under the radar.Featured in These Decks
