Peeled him out of a pack at the pre-release just as I wanted! Such a sick Demon!!! >=}
5/5! Big lifelinker with evasion and a sick-nasty ability that you can blow the second he comes in!! Draw Seven is phuking fun! Just smile like a doughnut for each card you draw, regardless of what it is, for the added intimidation factor of course!

If this set already has its Powerpuff Girls, then is this Mojo Jojo? D:
He likes to be called Mr. Card Advantage. Besides the obligatory Kaalia of the Vast link found on just about every angel, demon, and dragon in the game, he also goes well with Kuro, Pitlord. The lifelink offsets Kuro's ability, and the card draw is icing on the cake.

Whoa. Griselbrand actually makes a card like Venser's Journal seem appealing. You pay 7 life to draw 7 cards, then you gain that life back plus whatever other cards you had in your hand and you don't have to discard any of them at the end of your turn? You can essentially be gaining massive card advantage and a lot more life if you play your cards right.

combos with venser's journal. before your upkeep, pay 7 life, gain 7 cards. upkeep- gain 7 + how many cards were already in your hand life. swing for another 7 life, spend it for 7 cards, next upkeep gain 14+life (21+ if you could afford to pay again). Laboratory Maniac incase you deck yourself out. Elixir of Immortality in case you have to discard everything, or even Tamiyo, the Moon Sage's ultimate. stock up on zombies and play rooftop storm to drop a ton of creatures all at once.
now just to find a way to reliably cheat griselbrand out in in standard.

I have built a Griselbrand EDH deck. I had several turn 3 wins but it averages around turn 5-6 to win multiplayer/single player games. Easily 5/5 for reintroing a pseudo-Yawgmoth's Bargain to new players.

Compare this directly to Yawgmoth's Bargain and you'll realize that it isn't that much less broken.
It costs {B}{B} more, but nobody gives a shit because they can just cheat it out anyways.
It can only draw in batches of 7, which, yes, is a significant downside, but it can heal you back, which is a significant upside.
It can die easier because its a creature, but also it can deal damage because its a creature. Oh, and it has flying, so its especially good at that whole deal damage thing.
It feels to me in a format with Reanimator and Entomb etc... this thing is just as deadly as the bargain.
For the record, I think that although this thing is much more broken, its about 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times more fun to play than bargain, both with and against.
