Description
Tolkien’s lore into the game's mechanics. Released in 2023, this set includes Gríma, Saruman's Footman as card number 57 within the Commander subset. This legendary Human Advisor creature brings a distinct strategic element to gameplay, featuring a mana cost of {2}{U}{B} and a power/toughness of 1/4. The card’s abilities revolve around disruption and card advantage. Gríma cannot be blocked, allowing him to apply immediate pressure. When he deals combat damage, he forces an opponent to exile cards from their library until an instant or sorcery is found, which you may then cast for free. This mechanic makes it a compelling choice for players looking to control their opponent's resources while building their own hand. Matt Stewart’s artwork defines this rare card, adding to its visual appeal for TCG enthusiasts. For investors and hobbyists alike, Gríma represents a significant piece of the modern Magic: The Gathering landscape. The Tales of Middle-earth Commander subset has become a focal point for those looking to complete themed collections or add versatile pieces to their decks. Whether you are looking to enhance your library or track the evolution of Commander-legal cards, this release offers a tangible connection to the franchise's rich history.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Gríma can't be blocked. Whenever Gríma deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile an instant or sorcery card. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then that player puts the exiled cards that weren't cast this way on the bottom of their library in a random order.
