Official rulings

7 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

Each of the Curses can be attached to any player, including the player who cast the Curse.

2013-10-17 · Wizards of the Coast

Curse is an enchantment type, not a creature type (or any other kind of subtype).

2013-10-17 · Wizards of the Coast

The Curse subtype has no inherent rules meaning, but two cards in the Innistrad set (Bitterheart Witch and Witchbane Orb) refer to Curses.

2013-10-17 · Wizards of the Coast

Curse of Inertia’s ability will trigger only once per attacking player per combat phase, no matter how many creatures that player attacks with.

2013-10-17 · Wizards of the Coast

A Curse spell targets the player it will enchant like any other Aura spell, and a Curse stays on the battlefield like any other Aura. If the enchanted player gains protection from the Curse’s color (or any other characteristic the Curse has), the Curse will be put into its owner’s graveyard.

2013-10-17 · Wizards of the Coast

Even though the attacking player chooses the target of the ability, the ability is still controlled by the player who controls Curse of Inertia. Notably, a creature with hexproof controlled by the player who controls Curse of Inertia could be chosen, even though another player may be choosing the target.

2013-10-17 · Wizards of the Coast

The ability won’t trigger when a creature attacks a planeswalker controlled by the enchanted player.
