Bad Luck
Curse
An Unplayable, Eternal Curse: it cannot be removed or transformed.- If it is in your hand when your turn ends: you lose 13 HP, and the loss ignores Block and Strength.
- Not Ethereal: it goes to the discard pile and returns every shuffle.
Run modifiers never add it. The only source is the Shatter option in the Reflections event, which also duplicates every card in your deck.
