Syphon: no no no no no
Syphon: how does that make sense?
Syphon: she MAKES you taste her last breath
Syphon: then hopes you rot?
Syphon: that's like
Syphon: making a zombie eat you
Syphon: and shouting
Syphon: I HOPE YOU bleeping CHOKE ON IT
It defeats the purpose! You say "May you rot" as a curse in a retaliatory manner, not ... how it's presented here.

[I was permabanned and all I got to show for it was .... well, nothing.]
As the flavor text stands, it is more of a warning that if you kill her, it might be worse than keeping her around alive.
I understand Syphon's point, but look at it from the frame of mind that she's telling you what will happen if you do kill her and "taste her last breath" as you will.
Would you rather have to deal with a single 2/3 deathtoucher or have all of your creatures react as if everything they encountered had deathtouch?
Semantics really.
"May The Force be with you!"
"The Force will be with you...always."
Oh, and if your opponent has regenerating or indestructible creatures, then the "will" instead of "may" would be false!
I got a buddy who was calling around to find a chainsaw to clear some big limbs that a storm dropped out of his trees. I told him I've got a 3 foot bow powered by six packs, gonna be a good night.
I think PG just solved the issue right then and there.
Each and every one of those curses has "may" as the flavor text.
It just wouldn't be right if we switched it to "will" instead.
And just browsed through rumor mill... Commander's Arsenal is suppose to retail for a whopping $75... However... there is a foil Sylvan Library!!! If there are other amazing goodies like that... then I won't be too sad. I see a foil Mimeoplasm as well... hmmm... it'd be a waste of perfectly good space if they came out with foils for the 10 tri-color commanders then 8 other cards... that'd not be worth $75.... unless the other 7 unknown foils were like Tarmogoyf, Timespiral, Maze of Ith, Force of Will, Natural Order, Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor...
That question was for Auras that tap... not Enchantments in general. Though for an Enchantment, a use once per turn clause is usually put there instead of tapping it...

The question might have been about auras, but the answer was about enchantments in general.
Wow... Using that emote makes me feel like a jerk...
On another note, I can't believe GenCon Indy is just a week away (my, does time fly)! Gaming, shopping, good nosh, fellowship, and building things out of junk cards. What's not to love?
I was invited to that to hang out with my friend Xander. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to go.
@GreyDeckWins: It's weird. I can do all that jumping while on the floor, but I'm still kinda scared when I'm more than about 2 m off the floor/whatever surface I can stand on. Also, I can't do any sorts of flips because I'm scared of "not landing on my feet", regardless of what surfaces there are around. One thing's for sure though, "Acrophobia" doesn't sound nearly as cool as an album name as "Acrophilia".
(The Firefox spellchecker doesn't recognize the word "acrophilia" - the spelling suggestions, in order, are "necrophiliac", "necrophilia", "acrophobia", and "hemophiliac".)
How's this then, "Taste my last breath... And your flesh will rot away."?
The wish works for me.

Is like a zombie eating you despite your best efforts and you shouting 'I hope you ****ing choke on it.' ?
I don't think the witch has do anything to 'make you taste' her breath. She's just drawing your attention to it as you kill her. And then, curse!

Nice. I didn't even notice that, but that gives the "may" about a million bonus points in my books.

$75 for the Commander's Arsenal? That sounds like... a lot of money.
@Stardust: Sounds like you had fun with Horobi, Death's Wail! Crazy stuff there.
And finally, some random note... it's hard for me to decide whether I have acrophobia or acrophilia.

@Aurora: What? You don't like heights? Am I talking to your monochrome doppelganger again?
I love that card. I kinda wish they'd make a few more enchantments that tap, but understand why they don't.
Well future sight was the testing ground new ideas so who knows what the future holds.
The Family
I do.
Also, I kinda have no life aside from Magic...
