About Grixis

Grixis, Plane — alara, designed by Nils Hamm first released in Sep, 2009 in the set Planechase Planes and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

This Grixis card would be beneficial in a graveyard-focused deck that aims to reanimate creatures for added value and tempo. While it provides flexibility with unearth abilities and the potential to bring back creatures from any graveyard, there may be better options like Reanimate or Animate Dead that offer more efficient reanimation effects. Whether Grixis sees play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy within the deck, as well as the overall power level of the format it is being used in.

Rules

10/01/09

A plane card is treated as if its text box included “When you roll , put this card on the bottom of its owner’s planar deck face down, then move the top card of your planar deck off that planar deck and turn it face up.” This is called the “planeswalking ability.”

10/01/09

Activating a creature card’s unearth ability isn’t the same as casting the creature card. The unearth ability is put on the stack, but the creature card is not. Spells and abilities that interact with activated abilities (such as Stifle) will interact with unearth, but spells and abilities that interact with spells (such as Essence Scatter) will not.

10/01/09

Despite the appearance of the reminder text, the unearth abilities that Grixis grants are activated abilities of each individual blue, black, and/or red creature card in a graveyard. They’re not activated abilities of Grixis.

10/01/09

Grixis may cause a creature card in a graveyard to have multiple unearth abilities. Its owner may activate any one of those abilities.

10/01/09

The controller of a face-up plane card is the player designated as the “planar controller.” Normally, the planar controller is whoever the active player is. However, if the current planar controller would leave the game, instead the next player in turn order that wouldn’t leave the game becomes the planar controller, then the old planar controller leaves the game. The new planar controller retains that designation until they leave the game or a different player becomes the active player, whichever comes first.

10/01/09

Unearth grants haste to the creature that’s returned to the battlefield. However, neither of the exile abilities is granted to that creature. If that creature loses all its abilities, it will still be exiled at the beginning of the end step, and if it would leave the battlefield, it is still exiled instead.

10/01/09

Unlike the unearth ability, the chaos ability returns a creature card from a graveyard to the battlefield indefinitely.
