Cursed Scroll

Creatureless Set Concerns

New 05 Jan 2014 Asked by keith-cancel 35 Comments

When say that creatures are core to the game and would lead to bad limited environment. Why couldn't the set have lot direct damage cards and milling cards. Codex Shredder, the rack, lightning bolt, mind skulpt, millstone, cursed scroll, Shivan Gorge.


Let’s take direct damage. Okay, you have a deck full of direct damage without creatures. What are you going to do? With only one target (well, there’s technically also yourself), you’ll just aim all the spells at your opponent and they will aim theirs at you. Where’s the interaction? Where’s the compelling game play? It becomes a race to see who can draw and cast their direct damage first. Maybe, the first time, there’s a little but of novelty but I guarantee it will grow boring very quickly.

Do you think we could see cursed scroll again?


I believe it is on the Reserved List so no, I don’t think you’ll see it again.

As someone just mentioned the awesome Cursed Scroll, i have to ask, would it ever see a reprint?


Cursed Scroll is on the Reserved List which means we’ve promised never to reprint it. Sorry.

Cursed Scroll Designer

New 10 Mar 2012 Asked by vicisaposer-deactivated20231123 0 Comments

who designed Cursed scroll? Its been more than 10 years and its still my favourite card, the topdown design, Douglas art, colorless damage...


Cursed Scroll was designed by Richard Garfield (who was on the Tempest design team). He was trying to make a bluffing card.

Revealing Cursed Scroll

New 06 Dec 2011 Asked by magic-chan 0 Comments

In "Taming the Beast", the old Duelist entry mention "Rosewater noted that there's one of these subtly broken cards in Tempest—but he wouldn't say which card. Players will just have to find out on their own." 13 years later, could you reveal us which card you were thinking to?


The card I was talking about was Cursed Scroll. Between pencils down (the point where we can’t change anything) and it seeing print, R&D figured out it was stronger than it looked.
