Grim Servant
Oracle Text
Menace
When this creature enters, search your library for a card with mana value less than or equal to your devotion to black, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. You lose 3 life. (Each {B} in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to black.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Grim Servant reads like a somber courtier: a 3/2 menace that trades a little life to root out exactly what your black devotion shell needs, making it best for value-driven midrange or devotion/combo builds that want flexible tutoring rather than raw removal. Its enter-the-battlefield tutor scales with the number of B symbols on permanents you control, so slotting cheap black permanents—Gravecrawler, Bloodghast, Bitterblossom or a planeswalker like Liliana of the Veil—ramps the Servant’s reach into bigger answers or combo pieces quickly. The body and menace provide tempo on turn four, but you should be wary of the flat three-life payment in aggressive matchups or burn-heavy metas; consider life-gain or finishers like Gray Merchant to offset that cost. Deckbuilding tip: prioritize low-cost permanents with B in their casting cost to maximize early devotion and treat Grim Servant as a repeatable value engine — tutor for removal, a combo enabler, or the card you need to close the game.
