Commander Review: for voltron decks that aim at dealing more than 20 damage to a player with the commander, it's a pretty good card. However, I'd probably still play gratuitous violence or rage reflection over this card. Why? Because then my stuff is stronger against all opponents. Also, if I kill the opponent whom I played this curse on, the curse would be put into my graveyard. If I kill my opponent with the other cards I mentioned, those cards stay in play to let me (hopefully) kill more players. 3.5/5 for voltron decks (2/5 for other Commander decks).
This turns Sorin's vengeance into a one-shot kill. J'aime beaucoup.

@other people: Furnace of Rath also doubles the damage done to creatures. This does not.

I heard you like doubling damage so I equipped Markov Blademaster with Inquisitor's Flail so you can double your doubled damage and then double your doubled doubled damage, hitting doubly due to double strike.
EDIT: I do like the idea of hitting someone for 12 damage with a 1/1.

The moment I saw it, I knew that all those annoying red/black Sorin Markov + Sorin's Vengeance + various removal decks that plague MTGO casual just got even more unbearable. They don't even need Sorin anymore.

Mostly just a Fire Servant that's a little harder to remove, that's still pretty okay for what it is.
I'm sorry, but how on earth is this rated lower than Gratuitous Violence? This doubles the damage from any source, is easier to cast, and combos with all the cards that let you search for curses from Innistrad and Dark Ascension. Sure, times have changed, but I still find it quite funny

No, you're not playing one more mana for Furnace of Rath. Because Furnace of Rath is a double edged sword, it hurts you too. This is a Curse, it only hurts your opponent. (better in my opinion, especially for Standard burn decks)
I saw a guy at FNM play this turn 5 then turn 6 play two brimstone volleys after morbid was activated. 20 damage? screw board control...

And then I relized how funny this is when you also have curse of thirst, and curse of the peierced heart on the feild at the same time. 8 damage per turn? Yes, please! I've been able to ramp into curse of misfortunes, in my standard deck, the rest is down hill for my foe.
Super good! 5/5 For direct damage decks, makes it very easy to kill your opponent. I think this card is overpowered.

I recently combo'd this with Death Grasp with 9 mana available - being down 14 to 1 didn't matter anymore (even if my opponent had more than 14, gaining 7 life would have gotten me back in the game).

...slightly.
Anthem of Rakdos,
Curse of Bloodletting,
Fire Servant,
Furnace of Rath,
Gratuitous Violence,
Overblaze,
Quest for Pure Flame, and
Inquisitor's Flail in the same deck as
Hidetsugu's Second Rite,
Sorin Markov, and
Sorin's Vengeance
Nobody else does.
Because Furnace of Rath is a double edged sword, it hurts you too. This is a Curse, it only hurts your opponent.
(better in my opinion, especially for Standard burn decks)
it's scary to think that a 3-mana instant can kill in one blow
