When Grishnákh, Brash Instigator enters the battlefield, amass Orcs 2. When you do, until end of turn, gain control of target nonlegendary creature an opponent controls with power less than or equal to the amassed Army's power. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn.
Artist: Victor Harmatiuk

Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Control-Stealing: The ability to temporarily gain control of an opponent's nonlegendary creature can shift the momentum of a game.

• Amass Mechanic: Grishnákh's amass ability provides you with either a growing army or strengthens an existing one.

• Conditional: The ability to gain control of a creature is tied to the amassed Army's power, which may be limiting.

Deck Utility:

• Tempo and Control: This card fits well into tempo and control strategies, allowing you to seize key creatures from the opponent temporarily.

• Orc Synergy: The amass ability specifically targets Orcs, making this a good inclusion in an Orc tribal deck.

• Commander Potential: As a legendary creature, Grishnákh offers an interesting angle for Commander decks focused on stealing creatures or Orc tribal themes.

Grishnákh, Brash Instigator provides an interesting mix of Orc tribal synergy and temporary creature control. Its ability to seize control of an opponent's nonlegendary creature can serve as a powerful tempo play, while its Orc-amassing ability can be the foundation for a tribal strategy.
