Enchantment — Aura
Enchant artifact or creature
Enchanted permanent has phasing. (It phases in or out before its controller untaps during each of their untap steps. While it's phased out, it's treated as though it doesn't exist.)

Teferi's Curse makes one enchantment you control untargetable by opponents — a narrow protection effect that costs one blue mana to cast and one blue to keep via cumulative upkeep. The ongoing tax kills it in almost every context; there are strictly better ways to protect your permanents.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Teferi's Curse is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially no play in any of them. In Commander, cumulative upkeep makes sustained protection unworkable — you're paying two, three, four blue mana over successive turns to keep one enchantment safe from targeted removal. Legacy and Vintage have access to Counterspell and Diplomatic Immunity, which do the job cleaner and cheaper. Pauper is the one format where budget constraints tighten the options, but even there the effect is too conditional to earn a slot.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Teferi's Curse is deep bulk — the price reflects demand, which is effectively zero. Don't expect it to move; cards this narrow don't recover value without a dramatic rules or format shift.
