Grim Bauble
Oracle Text
When this artifact enters, target creature an opponent controls gets -2/-2 until end of turn.
{2}{B}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Surveil 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Grim Bauble is a perfect little utility piece for tempo and value-oriented black decks: for a single black it softens an early blocker or finishes a small threat with its ETB -2/-2, and later converts into card selection when you pay {2}{B}, tap, and sacrifice for Surveil 2. Thematically it reads like a prying trinket that weakens flesh and riffling through memories, so it fits decks that exploit the graveyard — pair it with Delve threats like Gurmag Angler, flashback spells, or reanimation routes so the surveil can stock targets. It also plays nicely with sacrifice outlets (Viscera Seer or any Aristocrats shell) when you want the Surveil now while triggering death synergies. Deck-building tip: keep it in low-curve black aggro/midrange lists and as a two- to three-of in control shells that want cheap interaction and library engineering; it’s a one-mana tempo play that often pays back in raw card advantage.
