About Shambling Attendants

Shambling Attendants, Creature — zombie, designed by Daarken first released in Sep, 2014 in the set Khans of Tarkir and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.02.

A deck that focuses on graveyard recursion and resource management would benefit from including Shambling Attendants, as its Delve ability allows for efficient casting cost reduction by exiling cards from the graveyard. However, in a competitive setting, there are likely better options for a 7-mana creature with Deathtouch, such as Grave Titan or Massacre Wurm, which offer more impactful abilities or immediate board presence. Shambling Attendants may not see much play in top-tier decks due to its high cost and limited impact compared to other options available.

Rules

03/19/21

Because delve isn’t an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.

03/19/21

Delve doesn’t change a spell’s mana cost or converted mana cost. For example, Treasure Cruise’s converted mana cost is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.

Because delve isn’t an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.

09/20/14

The rules for delve have changed slightly since it was last in an expansion. Previously, delve reduced the cost to cast a spell. Under the current rules, you exile cards from your graveyard at the same time you pay the spell’s cost. Exiling a card this way is simply another way to pay that cost.

09/20/14

You can’t exile cards to pay for the colored mana requirements of a spell with delve.
