Scroll of Griselbrand makes an opponent discard a card and lose 3 life for two mana — reasonable impact, but it's a one-shot sorcery-speed effect with no recurring value. The cost is opportunity cost: that slot almost always has a better home.
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 |
Scroll of Griselbrand is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but it sees virtually no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, targeted discard is notoriously weak — one card pulled from one hand at a four-player table is close to irrelevant by the time the effect resolves. In Pauper and Legacy, faster and more efficient discard spells crowd it out entirely. It's a bulk rare in name only; treat it as a bulk common in practice.
