About Grievous Wound

Grievous Wound, Enchantment — aura, designed by Fajareka Setiawan first released in Sep, 2024 in the set Duskmourn: House of Horror and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

Grievous Wound would be particularly effective in a black control or burn deck that focuses on dealing damage to the opponent while preventing them from gaining life, making it synergistic with cards that deal damage directly or through effects like burn spells or creatures with damage-dealing abilities. However, there are arguably more efficient options, such as Sorin, Solemn Visitor, which not only prevents life gain but also provides a direct life drain effect, or Bitterblossom, which generates consistent damage over time while also applying pressure. While Grievous Wound can be a powerful tool in the right build, its effectiveness may be overshadowed by these alternatives, and its inclusion would depend on the specific strategy and meta of the deck.
