Changes: Necronomicurse

Revision as of 08:47, 12 July 2020

Necronomicurse is received when you get the from the Cursed Tome event. This curse cannot be removed from your deck by any means. When it is exhausted, the Necronomicon will flash and put another one in your hand.

Strategy

The Necronomicurse counts for Du-Vu Doll.
Omamori will negate the Necronomicurse entirely, but only if Omamori is acquired first.
If the Necronomicurse is played with Blue Candle, it will be returned to your hand after being exhausted; while this means you can't escape the Necronomicurse, you can play it as this way as many times as you want, and that interaction can be exploited in a number of ways.
- It allows you to take arbitrary amounts of damage in one-damage increments, triggering useful on-damage effects likeRupture orBlood for Blood.
- Each play still counts as an exhaust, so it will trigger on-exhaust effects like Dead Branch,Dark Embrace, and Charon's Ashes.
- Each one counts as a card played, so it can trigger things likePanache orA Thousand Cuts.

Trivia

The Necronomicon is a reference to Spelunky's Book of the Dead, which is a reference to Evil Dead's Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, which is a reference to the Necronomicon in Lovecraft mythos.
