About Cursed Totem

Cursed Totem, Artifact, designed by D. Alexander Gregory first released in Oct, 1996 in the set Mirage and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.86.

This card, Cursed Totem, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on shutting down opponent's activated abilities, especially in a creature-heavy meta. However, a better alternative could be Linvala, Keeper of Silence, as it not only shuts down creature abilities but also has a flying body. Whether Cursed Totem should see play would depend on the specific meta and strategy of the deck, but it can be a strong choice in the right circumstances.
