What it does
Gríma can't be blocked.
Whenever Gríma deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile an instant or sorcery card. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then that player puts the exiled cards that weren't cast this way on the bottom of their library in a random order.

Where it came from
Gríma, Saruman's Footman was released as part of the Magic: The Gathering 'Tales of Middle-earth' Commander set in 2023. This expansion marked the first time the collectible card game integrated J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into its official card pool, allowing players to incorporate iconic figures from The Lord of the Rings into the game's mechanics. The card was designed specifically for the Commander format, which emphasizes multiplayer interaction and thematic deck building.
The card features an illustration by artist Wisnu Tan, who chose a somber, cinematic aesthetic to capture Gríma Wormtongue’s duplicitous nature. The design emphasizes his role as a manipulative influence within the court of Rohan, featuring mechanics that allow players to steal cards from an opponent’s deck. Upon release, the set received significant attention for its blend of traditional fantasy tropes and the specific visual language of Middle-earth established by the literary source material.
