Exile X target creatures. For each creature exiled this way, its controller creates a 2/2 green Boar creature token.

Curse of the Swine is a flexible mid-to-late game board control sorcery best used to clear multiple problematic creatures by exiling them. Its primary strength is the exile effect, which bypasses indestructible or regeneration-shielded creatures. The drawback is giving opponents 2/2 Boar tokens equal to exiled creatures, so it's best cast when you can mitigate or block those tokens effectively.
Synergizes well with cards that punish opponents for having tokens (e.g., Anointed Procession, Cleansing Meditation) or that can leverage the Boars gaining counters or other negative effects. It also pairs with bounce effects or fog-type defenses to stall after clearing the board.
Supports gameplay strategies focused on controlling the battlefield by removing threats permanently while managing token generation as a trade-off. Best used in blue control decks with tools to stabilize post-clear board state.
