Oracle Text
Destroy target artifact or creature. You gain 1 life.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Grapple with Death is a clean, flexible two-mana answer that fits best in a midrange or control shell, especially one that wants to trade resources efficiently while keeping life totals stable. In practice, it plays like a small but reliable swing: remove an opposing creature or problematic artifact, then pad your life by one, which can matter more than it looks when you are stabilizing against aggro or buying time for a late-game engine. The black-green mana cost points toward decks with strong removal suites, graveyard recursion, or sacrifice synergies, where even a simple spell can be turned into repeated value through flashback-like effects, spell recursion, or cards that care about creatures dying. In Strixhaven terms, the card feels like an assertive lesson in survival through ruthless adaptation—less about spectacle, more about surviving the encounter and turning the fight in your favor.
