Cursebreak destroys an enchantment and gains you 2 life — fine in a vacuum, but sorcery speed at two mana is a high ask when Disenchant does the same thing at instant speed for the same cost. Run it only if you're deep in a list that needs enchantment removal slots five and six.

In Commander, Cursebreak sits at the bottom of the enchantment-removal pile — Disenchant, Banishing Light, and Nature's Ruin all do more or cost less, and the 2 life rarely matters at a 40-life table. In Pauper, the format's enchantment density is high enough that commons like this see occasional sideboard play, and the life gain can be relevant in aggressive matchups. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in Cursebreak at any configuration. It's a card that exists to fill a slot when you've exhausted better options.
