Well, this guy is terrible. Just kill him and your creatures are free to brawl, so essentially a removal spell is an X+1-for-one, where X is the number of times he has used his ability.

How about Underworld Dreams? They just printed a bunch of Blue/Black/White cards, didn't they?

This card is outstanding; he's basically a never-ending fountain of Pacifism.
To those naysayers, view the logic:
If you play him & he's immediately removed, you lost your profiteer but they lost their removal.
If you play him & he bribes once then is removed, you've frozen an enemy and they've lost their removal.
If he bribes two guys before removal, you're ahead compared to Pacifism, since you got two bribes for one card.
If you get to use the ability 3+ times, you're way ahead compared to a removal card. At this point, you have a large creature advantage.
In response to the card the enemy draws, consider two points. One, it might be a land; a good thing for a creature-lock deck. Two, even if it's a creature, he's gotta summon it. If nothing else, you have a mana advantage. Moreover, Gwafa can zap whatever they throw out. The only way the guy can get a creature advantage is if he summons 2 creatures per turn, and even then you can bribe the better one. M... (see all)

A very nice ability if used carefully and if you protect him with counterspells or Robe of Mirrors. You just have to keep him in play as long as possible. Then he can paralyze a whole army. And since the bribery counters are counters, the opponent has almost no possibilities of removing them.

I played a Human Rogue in World of Warcraft and I play White/Blue in Magic. Naturally, this is my EDH General.

limited? he's pretty much unlimited! he's great in a bant deck, he's extremely usefull when your opponent plays a huge blocker or a giant attacker broodstar for example. he basically makes a bunch of monsters your opponent plays useless. i mean, it's not like most opponents have a way of removing bribery counters, cause this guy's the first to use them. i don't know what people's problem is with this guy, i use a bant deck and this guys one of my favorites.

people who complain about Gwafa simply do not know how to use him. against any deck, stop your opponents creatures dead. unless they have some crazy abilities, then play him with a mark of asylum. stopping an attacking onslaught is redic, and even works against indestructible creatures, I'm lookin at you spearbreaker behemoth! Plus if you can make your opponent draw few cards and make him discard a few.... you got a dimir deck goin!

I really liked this card when I first saw it.
But your probably just letting them draw into the removal, and then the creature can attack/block when this guys dealt with. So in the end, unless you got nice protection going on, he is doing more harm then good.
