Where it came from
Curse of Verbosity was introduced in the Commander 2017 set, which focused on tribal synergies across various creature types. Released as part of the 'Arcane Wizardry' preconstructed deck, the card was designed to encourage multiplayer interaction by rewarding opponents for attacking the enchanted player. This design choice aligns with the core philosophy of the Commander format, where cards that incentivize table politics and group dynamics are highly valued for their ability to shape the flow of a game.
The artwork for this card was provided by Winona Nelson, who crafted a visual representation of the 'curse' concept through intricate, magical motifs. Her illustration captures the theme of arcane knowledge and excessive speech, fitting the wizard theme of the deck. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its efficiency in blue-based decks, offering a consistent source of card draw that scales effectively with the number of participants at the table.
