Let's see, lifelink damage, gain 7 life... I didn't need that 21 life anyway, right?
Once at an FNM I saw a guy playing a Fist of Suns deck with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, and this jerk.
The guy he played against had a lockdown control deck, featuring Helvault, among other things.
They won the event from sheer flavor points for exiling Avacyn and Griselbrand to the Helvault.

Too bad drawing a tone of cards is a loser strategy in Magic ;p

I'm both happy and sad to have Griselbrand banned in edh. Happy that he's not on the opposite of the board from me. Sad that he's not on my side lol

Yet another badass that I took out of my reanimator deck. Demons have lost their way. People weren't using them because of the drawbacks, I guess, but now they're strategically too similar to angels (most of whom I despise). (Sidenote: Linvala, Iona and Avacyn are the worst offenders and shouldn't be played against friends you intend to keep.) Griselbrand would still have been good if he didn't have lifelink and only drew you three or four cards. I don't know what was going on in development in this set. I guess it was the old "sell more boosters" directive.
The drawback for Griselbrand is that you feel a little dirty using him. There is virtually no in-game drawback, which is too bad. Swing for seven, gain seven life, pay seven life, draw seven cards, repeat as necessary until victory occurs. Pretty gross.
Demons should have comparatively low mana costs, but high strategic costs (card/board disadvantage, or life loss) that will lose you the game if you aren't careful.
I'm giving Gr... (see all)

Cast this guy, and in a few turns at most, your opponent will meet a grisely fate.
