Grim Flayer

Description

The 2022 Double Masters release features Grim Flayer (#380), a Rare Black-Green Human Warrior creature with Trample and Delirium support. This card brings a distinct mechanical package to the table, combining direct combat impact with graveyard synergy. The mana cost is {B}{G}, requiring one black mana and one green mana to cast, while its base power and toughness are 2/2. The card's versatility comes from its triggered abilities, which reward players who are actively manipulating their graveyard. Trample allows this creature to push damage past blockers, ensuring that even if it is blocked, a portion of its damage can reach the opposing player. The second ability, surveil 3, triggers whenever Grim Flayer deals combat damage to a player. Surveil 3 lets you 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. This provides immediate card selection and graveyard fuel, which is crucial for activating the third ability. Delirium is the key to unlocking Grim Flayer's full potential. As long as there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard, this creature gets +2/+2. This conditional boost transforms the 2/2 base into a significantly more aggressive threat, making it a valuable asset in decks that prioritize graveyard interaction. The card is illustrated by Richard Kane Ferguson and carries the set code 2X2. The card's mana cost is {B}{G} and its abilities include Trample, a surveil effect triggered by combat damage, and Delirium which grants +2/+2 if four or more card types are in the graveyard. Grim Flayer is card number 380 in the Double Masters 2022 set. Its ability to generate value through combat and graveyard depth makes it a compelling addition to any collection focused on the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The card's straightforward yet powerful design reflects the set's goal of providing high-quality reprints that are immediately playable and enjoyable.
