The MTG card Cursed Totem has seen a spike in price due to a shift in the Modern meta, with an old combo deck, Yawgmoth Combo, rising to the top. The card has increased in value from 50 cents to $2, making it still relatively cheap, but foil copies have seen a significant increase from $5 to $36, a 620% increase. Cursed Totem has become more desirable due to its ability to shut down activated abilities on creatures, making it a valuable sideboard tool to combat the Yawgmoth Combo deck. The Yawgmoth Combo deck relies on the Yawgmoth, Thran Physician creature, which can be used to draw cards and weaken opponents’ creatures. The deck utilizes Undying creatures and sacrifice mechanics to draw a large number of cards and drain opponents’ life. With the recent banning of powerful cards like Fury and Up the Beanstalk, the Yawgmoth Combo deck has become a top tier meta deck, leading to an increased need for ways to combat it. Cursed Totem not only stops Yawgmoth in his tracks, but also handles the mana dorks in the deck. This spike in the price of Cursed Totem reflects its increased demand in the current MTG meta.
