A Jund blight deck led by Auntie Ool, Cursewretch that spreads -1/-1 counters and turns them into steady value. It wins by grinding boards down, generating extra resources off the counters, and eventually overwhelming opponents who can’t keep creatures on the table.








Auntie Ool, Cursewretch commands a Jund deck that treats -1/-1 counters as both removal and a resource. You spread counters onto opposing creatures to shrink boards and pick off utility pieces, while counter synergies turn that control plan into value. The fun twist is that placing counters can also be something you do to your own creatures on purpose, because the deck is built to profit from those placements with extra cards, tokens, or other payoffs. Once the engine is humming, the table gets stuck in a slow squeeze. Wither creatures and counter-spreading effects keep opposing boards from ever stabilizing, while token makers like Flourishing Defenses and Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons let you turn every counter into more bodies. Most wins come from grinding life totals down through repeated drains and resilient combat, with the option to pivot into a combo finish if the right counter or mana loops come together.
