<p>No.  Curse cards do not have the type <strong>Victory</strong>.  They just have type <strong>Curse</strong>.</p>

<p>(You can see this in the rules or by reading the card closely - although they affect your VP total, they do not have "Victory" in the type line, just "Curse").</p>

<p>If I play a Bureaucrat and my opponent reveals a hand with a Curse card, does that Curse card go back on top of his/her deck?  Or does it not count as a "Victory card"?</p>

If I play a Bureaucrat and my opponent reveals a hand with a Curse card, does that Curse card go back on top of his/her deck? Or does it not count as a "Victory card"?

No. Curse cards do not have the type **Victory**. They just have type **Curse**.

(You can see this in the rules or by reading the card closely - although they affect your VP total, they do not have "Victory" in the type line, just "Curse").
