Grim Flayer
Oracle Text
Trample
Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, surveil 3. (Look at the top three cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)
Delirium — This creature gets +2/+2 as long as there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Grim Flayer is a classic Golgari pressure piece that rewards a proactive midrange or tempo game plan: it starts as a 2/2 for two mana with trample, but once delirium is online it becomes a frightening 4/4 attacker that can punch through blockers and keep the cards flowing. Its combat-damage trigger to surveil 3 is excellent for smoothing draws, stocking the graveyard, and finding either removal or threats while setting up delirium at the same time. In deckbuilding, prioritize a mix of card types—creatures, lands, instants, sorceries, and perhaps artifacts or enchantments if your colors support them—so the +2/+2 turns on reliably. Cards that self-mill or trade early, like fetch lands and cheap interaction, are especially strong because they accelerate both graveyard setup and board control. In short, Grim Flayer thrives in grindy aggressive shells that want selection, recursion, and a threat that scales naturally into the midgame.
