Grixis Grimblade is a two-mana 2/1 that becomes a 3/2 first striker whenever you control another multicolored permanent — solid stats for the cost, but only when the condition is active. It's a role-player in dedicated multicolor or Grixis-heavy builds, not a standalone threat.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Grixis Grimblade sees essentially no play in Legacy, Vintage, or Modern, where a conditional 3/2 first striker can't compete with the raw power level of those formats. Pauper is its most natural competitive home, where two-mana creatures are scrutinized closely and first strike provides real combat advantage — though even there it requires build-around support to turn the condition on reliably. In Commander, Grixis Grimblade fits narrowest into multicolor-matters decks where the board is consistently full of gold cards, making the pump nearly always active.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Grixis Grimblade is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a dollar box without a second thought. That price is unlikely to move; demand is too narrow and supply too wide for any meaningful appreciation.
