Character Background
Curator of Destinies reads like a midrange/control finisher that doubles as an information weapon: a 5/5 flying Sphinx for six mana that can’t be countered means it reliably resolves into a huge card-selection effect, so it best supports value- and control-oriented game plans (and can sneak into combo shells that hate countermagic). The enter-the-battlefield choice — you sort the top five into a face‑down pile and a face‑up pile while an opponent chooses — rewards careful library engineering: use Brainstorm/Preordain/Serum Visions and a couple of fetches to sculpt those five and hide your real threats among face‑down cards, or intentionally let premium cards hit the graveyard to fuel reanimation or delve lines. Concrete synergies include Snapcaster Mage or Torrential Gearhulk to reuse milled instants, delve payers like Treasure Cruise and Gurmag Angler, and reanimation packages (Unburial Rites, recursion engines) to exploit what your opponent consigns to the graveyard. Treat it as a late‑game value engine that doubles as a tempo stopper against countermagic-heavy decks.
