Griptide

Unrules Scenario

New 16 Apr 2017 Asked by vasnirada 14 Comments

Unrules question: If I have Yet Another Aether Vortex on the field, and I Griptide the creature on the top of my opponents library, what happens?


Basically nothing happens as it’s already on top of its owner’s library.

AEther Vortex Interaction

New 30 Aug 2014 Asked by fistdangerfist 19 Comments

Un-rules question: say I have Yet Another AEther Vortex in play and the top card of someone's library is a creature. If I target the creature with Griptide while it is attacking, is the attack interrupted or is there no effect at all?


There is no effect because the creature is already on top of the library.

Color Identity Shifts

New 05 May 2014 Asked by su92 18 Comments

Time Ebb was blue at first, then you made Excommunicate in white, then said the ability was back in blue with Griptide and Totally Lost. Now we've had Unexpectedly Absent and Quarry Colossus. Is it white again? White and blue?


It’s supposed to be blue.

Leonin on Theros

New 02 Dec 2013 Asked by alexcm4297-blog-deactivated2021 21 Comments

I have noticed that there is a Leonin in the Theros art for Griptide. Are there Leonin on Theros? Is this possibly foreshadowing the arrival of our favorite cat planeswalker?


There are leonin on Theros. I cannot comment on the second question.

Repel vs Griptide

New 25 Mar 2012 Asked by drsylvan 1 Comments

Why was Repel reprinted as Griptide? I thought one of the goals of assigning single-word names to classic, simple effects was to be reprinted. This doesn't seem to fall under the Evolving Wilds reasoning that some decks might want copies 5-8.


When we reprint a card, unless it’s 4-of-ness is important we let the creative team decide whether or not that name works in the new environment. If it does, it most often stays. If it doesn’t, it most often changes.

Mechanic Color Identity

9th edition had Time Ebb ("Put target creature on top of its owner's library."), M10 and M11 had Excommunicate, ISD has Grasp of Phantoms and DKA has Griptide. White, blue or both?


We had a meeting about this not too long ago. Put from the battlefield to top of library is a blue thing and not a white thing.
