Diminisher Witch
Creature — Human Warlock
Bargain (You may sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token as you cast this spell.)
When this creature enters, if it was bargained, create a Cursed Role token attached to target creature an opponent controls. (If you control another Role on it, put that one into the graveyard. Enchanted creature is 1/1.)

Diminisher Witch enters the battlefield and immediately curses a creature to become a 0/1 until end of turn — a pseudo-removal effect stapled to a 2/2 body for three mana. The floor is a combat trick that trades up; the ceiling is a repeatable threat in blink or flicker shells.

Where it lives, where it can’t

In Commander, Diminisher Witch earns its slot in Orzhov or Golgari blink decks that want repeated enters-the-battlefield triggers — flickering it every turn turns a 0/1 curse into a soft lock on blockers or a combat-step enabler. Outside Commander, Diminisher Witch is legal across every major format but sees minimal competitive play; at three mana for a 2/2 with a temporary effect, it doesn't clear the bar in Modern or Pioneer where permanent removal is cheaper and faster. Pauper is its most natural competitive home, where the body-plus-tempo package on a common is closer to acceptable, though even there it faces stiff competition from more efficient threat-answers.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Diminisher Witch is deep bulk — the price of a sleeve, not a card. It won't appreciate unless a breakout blink commander drags it into demand, so grab a copy for your pile and don't think twice about it.
