About Grimoire Thief
Grimoire Thief, Creature — merfolk rogue, designed by Randy Gallegos first released in Feb, 2008 in the set Morningtide. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.83. It's a key card in 4 combos.
A deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's strategy by controlling their library and countering their spells would benefit from including Grimoire Thief. While Grimoire Thief's ability to exile cards and potentially counter spells can be powerful in the right circumstances, there are other cards like Vendilion Clique or Snapcaster Mage that offer more versatile and immediate impact, making them potentially better choices for competitive play. However, Grimoire Thief could still see play in more casual or themed decks looking to explore unique and interactive gameplay mechanics.
Rules
07/01/13
Once a player is allowed to look at the exiled face-down cards, that player may continue to do so even after Grimoire Thief leaves the battlefield or another player gains control of it.
04/01/08
If a split card is turned face up, the ability counters all spells with the same name as either side of that split card.
04/01/08
The only cards you turn face up are the cards exiled with the Grimoire Thief that was sacrificed.
