For this curse to make sense, it must first be confirmed that Legendary voodoo cannot be removed by Purify or Serenity. I don't recall any such confirmation, but I might be wrong.

Legendary voodoo is expensive, if purify and serenity can clear them, it would be meaningless.

That's wrong. Only a few voodoo cards "linger", and remain active. Of course, you could then argue that "lingering" Legendary voodoo would be meaningless. I'd disagree with that, too. First, the player (or his guild) must notice the voodoo and be able to react. Like with FFJ, there are ways to get some minimum effect even against an active guild. Secondly, you could "lock it in" with mindbars. Or perhaps even an "improved, legendary mindbar". So I think it is in no way obvious that all Legendary cards should be immune to Purify and Serenity.

If the admins decide that they should be, then that's their decicion, and a card like this one will be needed, I agree with that. However, there is also the option of making only specific cards immune to serenity/purify (give them a "resist" ability - doesn't even have to be 100%). There are lots of options.

I agree with Haron, for the most part. While I personally think that legendary voodoo should be harder to clear using Purify or Serenity (such as a X% chance of failing against legendary voodoo), I don't think that legendary voodoo should only be cleared by legendary voodoo.

So for Guluere's Suggestion:

-1

-1. I have not seen a card that purify or serenity with some persistence cannot clear.
