[SCD] Grim Discovery

[Humphrey]

Grim Discovery :1::b:
Sorcery (C)

Choose one or both - Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand, and/or return target land card from your graveyard to your hand.


I think that card is awesome. Get back the Fetch or the Wasteland and a (countered) creature. Pure CA

Also nice for the new combo with depths

[Nidd]

Good god. Imagine having Ob Nixilis on the board, discarding a Korlash to his Grandeur ability, crack a Fetch, play this spell, discard Korlash again, play the Fetch and crack it again...

Sounds cool. And dangerous.

[TorpidNinja]

This would be a great card for Limited, but what does it do for Legacy which isn't fulfilled by other options already? Why bother with getting a single land in hand when we can get multiple (Loam) or just put it into play (Crucible; yes, more expensive, but it's permanent and more useful)? And why get a creature in hand when we can simply put it into play for cheaper (Reanimate, et al?)

Indeed...you can play Intuition/Gifts Ungiven for Hexmage + Depths + something else, and if they give you the "something else" still get your combo.


It's a bad Loam and a bad Unearth, but in decks that actually want both of those effects (I'm thinking Aggro Loam), it could find some slots.

Lol, that's cute.

[Apex]

lol, gifts for Hexmage, Dark Depth, Grim Discovery and Eternal Witness is so cool! Too bad Gifts is "banned" in EDH, as that would have been a very nice play.

[Shanghi Knights]

don't forget regrowth is possibility too when gifting.

[Infinitium]

Except that this is pretty much strictly better in that particular pile since it means the combo can be performed the next turn for less mana (4 instead of 7 to be exact), and you still have Regrowth in hand if anything goes tits, meaning it's actually better for the opponent to leave you with Regrowth + Piece, meaning you can always combo out next turn with the 4 mana you cast Gifts with even with the Dark Depths land drop.

...Wait, what?

[BreathWeapon]

Useful for Gifts Ungiven and Intuition piles, there's probably something there.

Yes it is. A card like this could make Gifts Ungiven closer to being competitive. I'm not sure if it's enough but it's definitely a step in the right direction.
