About Wretched Gryff

Wretched Gryff, Creature — eldrazi hippogriff, designed by Darek Zabrocki first released in Jul, 2016 in the set Eldritch Moon and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.31.

This Wretched Gryff card could be beneficial in a deck that focuses on sacrificing creatures for value and drawing cards. Decks that have ways to generate tokens or creatures easily could take advantage of the emerge ability to cast it for less mana. However, in competitive Magic: The Gathering play, there are likely better options for a 7-mana cost flying creature that provide more immediate impact or synergy with the deck's strategy, such as Sphinx of Foresight or Consecrated Sphinx. Overall, while Wretched Gryff has its niche uses, it may not see widespread play in highly optimized decks.

Rules

07/13/16

A creature’s converted mana cost is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner (unless that creature is the back face of a double-faced card, is a melded permanent, or is copying something else; see below). If the mana cost includes , X is considered to be 0. If it’s a single-faced card with no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it’s an animated land, for example), its converted mana cost is 0. Ignore any alternative costs or additional costs (such as kicker) that were paid as the creature was cast.

07/13/16

A “when you cast” triggered ability resolves before the original spell resolves. It resolves even if the original spell is countered, and the original spell resolves even if the triggered ability is countered.

07/13/16

If you sacrifice a creature with in its mana cost, that X is considered to be 0.

07/13/16

Once you begin to cast a spell with emerge, no player may take actions until you’re done. Notably, opponents can’t try to remove the creature you wish to sacrifice.

07/13/16

The converted mana cost of a creature spell with emerge isn’t affected by whether its emerge cost is paid. For example, if you cast Elder Deep-Fiend for its emerge cost and sacrifice a creature whose converted mana cost is 3, Elder Deep-Fiend’s converted mana cost remains 8.

07/13/16

You may sacrifice a creature with a converted mana cost of 0, such as a token creature that’s not a copy of another permanent, to cast a spell for its emerge cost. You’ll just pay the full emerge cost with no reduction.
