You can respond to the cards getting exiled with croak counters with your own graveyard removal and grave hate that is a replacement effect like Rest in Peace also beats Grolnok.
@@Benjammn if i'm not mistaken when it comes to zone based replacement effects clauses that use (if...instead) don't use the stack, and cards that have (whenever/when) clauses still have them enter the original zone and use the stack.
@@TheRicharizardgrolnok has no replacement effect, that only applies when the word “instead” is used. His ability just triggers everytime a card goes from the top of your deck to your graveyard (including dumb shit like intuition). I main grolnok in cEDH, and can say by far the worst things for it are drannith magistrate and rest in peace
Also keep in mind if Grolnok is not on the field, cards with croak counters on them cannot be cast. Also instant and sorcery cards cannot have croak counters only permanents, so these decks tend to have to play out some janky cards to get around this issue. I know, because I have a Grolnok deck.😂
without needing to discard at the end of the turn nor losing them to discard cards, like Thoughtseize so, untouchable "no size limit" hand. That's easy playing
@@apostateCourier it's in Simic, so tons of mana ramp, counterspell and defense-bounces. I have hard time thinking "Gorlok not in the battlefield is a problem"
When did we turn exile into a fun-time bounce house? That was supposed to be the nono zone where the naughty cards were sent to. Now it’s just an American prison where you’re in and out but made lots of enemies along the way.
Sixth Edition. The zone we call "exile" today used to be two different zones: "removed from the game" and "set aside". But the post-Sixth-Edition rules update - the same massive revision of MtG's internals that created the stack and allowed artifacts to function while tapped - retconned the templating so that both use cases used the same "removed from the game" zone under the hood. Compare Memory Jar to Kyren Archive; similar effect, but the one that was designed after Sixth Edition was RFGing those cards even though they were gonna go in your hand later.
It's similar to Yu-Gi-Oh| where the Graveyard is just your second hand. That's shitty, since it make _everything_ so damn easy. No backdraws, no high mana value costs, no downsides, no need to combine 3-4 pieces for synergies/combo (since most cards nowadays do EVERYTHING by their own), no costly interactions, no permanent removal .... how many cards to exile face down? how many cards to give you limited access to exile cards _and then no more_? Uh, just red. Sometimes. Nowadays you can still cast them in your next turn. AAAAAH
@@marcoottina654 To be fair, Yu-Gi-Oh atleast accomplishes this by making the graveyard cards specifically ask to be in the graveyard. Hell, plenty of decks are actually paying (I say that loosely) to put their shit in the graveyard. I say Loosely because often, the cards you're paying with also want to be in the graveyard anyhow, but meh. Atleast Yu-Gi-Oh's graveyard shenanigans are so common (Le handtrap) that running Graveyard hate is expected.

Boros is absolutely not the hardest working color combination. Red gets free shit for existing, planning to exist, and ceasing to exist. White also gets free shit for existing, planning to exist, and ceasing to exist. Meanwhile black over here has to sacrifice a child to pay the blood price for a once per turn draw 1. I'll say it.

@@thesanestintheland I mean, it does. If your deck can't function without its commander AND can't do anything to make sure its commander sticks around OR get rid of one un-protected creature it deserves to lose. If Drannith Magistrate isn't ok, you might as well be playing with house rules that say your commander counts as an emblem.
"You may cast cards exiled this way" is a much cleaner template, but doesn't work with the only MtG format Wizards care about, so you get this monstrosity. (Counters on exiled cards aren't new though - as far as I remember suspend worked this way).
Bro spoke on every single point available, losing out on instants and sorceries barely hurts the deck. Grolnok was my first and still my favorite Commander and I'm still surprised that he's so rare!
Mm, this ragging on self-mill makes me really want to see you cover Emry, Lurker in the Loch. I.E. "The monoblue artifact decks treat their graveyard as a hand just like the black players now, folks!"
Mald, how you keep coming up with such great comedy bits for these videos I have no idea. I am truly impressed bro, thank you for sharing your wit with us.
Most cards: "Exile... You may play them this turn." Grolnok: "nah, while they have a counter on them." It really separated him from other commanders and is mainly why I gladly made a deck with him.
I have a gimmick timmy grolnok deck named "petitioners against humanity". It's persistent petitioners self milling enough copies of slime against humanity to make absurd beaters. Plus full on explosions with lier to cast all the milled slimes through flashback.
@@connorl0204 yeah, that's why Lier is used to give them flashback, since he's also fairly easy to hit with the self mill, as well as other cards to retrieve sorceries and even without those you will eventually get 2 or 3 Slimes in your hand anyways, and with Primal Vigor, Concordant Crossroads and a bunch of slimes in your grave you can still go for massive bombs.
So all you need is a few cards that say, "You cannot draw cards," as well as, "play with the top card of your library revealed; may cast it," & you'll slowly turn your library into untouchable free-casting.
Back when the Pride, all commanders have partner event happened one of the pods I was in had a girl who brought this and gitrog and had a like 14 page fanfiction on why the two of them were in a relationship. Was a fun game didn't get to read the fanfic unfortunately.
I have this deck and it's exactly as you describe outside of the wincon. They really should be in there, but they are too expensive for me. I just get wonder out and attack with a billion flying frogs.
Put in that bear from thunder junction who lets you cast spells from exile cheaper, and the card from the gruul clb precon that lets you cast 1 creature from exile each turn for free.
YAS one of mine! Oops All Permanents! Favorite wincon is playing the other side of Augmenter Pugilist from where I like to call my Wishing Pond, and making everything Grolnok! Quite reliably wins turn 8, although I do invariably become a target.
Funny enough I have a mis print of this card. The green border around the card the ink looks burned like paint caught on fire. I thought about making a deck about him just because it's my only misprint.

He’s already on my list to make ever since I’ve had him sitting in my binder for a few years now. And with the Bloomburrow additions… oh boy!! Let’s GO! Ribbit.
Whenever you attack you draw three cards but don't put them into your hand where, God forbid, someone might interact with them. No put them over here in your own safe zone where you need not worry about silly things like discard or hand size.

Can you cover the Infamous Cruelclaw from bloomburrow, specifically the worldfire variant. I know it seemed like a meme when first described, but after some testing I've found it to be rather effective if built right.
My deck runs the sorcery (creature) echoing equation. Frontside is a permanent but you can cast that backside and when you do you just need grolnok and 5 other creatures to swing and you have now milled your whole deck.
I have a Grolnok self mill deck with Persistent Petitioners. The deck wants to mill itself and get all the damn petitioners out with a thrumming stone, then drop a Seedborn Muse and Bruvac, and if that mesmeric orb has been out, you can bet your ass the whole table getting milled in one rotation. It draws so much hate tho...😅
this came at such an ominous time where I was just today thinking about finally doing a Grolnok deck. With all the new Frogs from Bloomburrow, are you in my walls mald?
Thing is, this deck actually works. You don't even need the obnoxious "No cards, I win!" Crap. I took it apart last year because the novelty of having a giant hand on the side of my playmat kind of wore off. Then I cracked Glarb... AND Gitrog... I'm like, "Nah, I already did Frogger. Not interested. Moving on." So now I've got this Sultai Frog deck...
On the upside, as I read that card it is Grol being in play that makes Croak counters grant cards in exile the ability to be played, once Grol gets removed from the battlefield it should no longer be possible to play the cards you’ve send to the shadow-realm.
I crawl, broken and beaten, but I will never stop. Nothing in this world can make me stop.

My pod actually lost this commander yesterday. I had a slow start, so I made the mistake of accepting an early alliance with him so I could at least get my combo going, but by the time I did, even he had to stop me and be like "Okay, let me explain to you why you should've broken our alliance 3 turns ago..."
I run a cycling rez deck... my coworkers created graveyard exile decks dedicated to ensuring i cant cycle from graveyards. So basically i have this enchantment that makes it so that i can pay an extra mana when i cycle or discard my opponents lose 2 life and i gave two live. Pair that with a card that allows me to cycle from my graveyard.... aaaaannndd i basically do 2 direct damage, cant be blocked AND heal myself all in the process...😅 Edit: theres no cap on how many times this happens, the mana i have access to is my limit. The first time it worked, i killed them both and gained 18 life points.
Fun fact - I built a deck around Grolnok during Caverns of Ixalan Standard, because Poison Dart Frog is the cutest little guy. You know who's NOT cute!? ThaliTrog and YarglTani. Oh, and I went five colors for the privilege of having Ziatora chuck YarglTani's giant frog arse into my opponent's face. Good times. 🐸
I played this with frogs and zombies and used maskwood nexus effects to mill my entire deck with a gaeas blessing in it so I could never deck and just had an uninteractable hand
i mean at least with bloomburrow theres enough frogs to actually commit to the theme

Pair that with a card that allows me to cycle from my graveyard.... aaaaannndd i basically do 2 direct damage, cant be blocked AND heal myself all in the process...😅
Edit: theres no cap on how many times this happens, the mana i have access to is my limit. The first time it worked, i killed them both and gained 18 life points.
Fun fact - I built a deck around Grolnok during Caverns of Ixalan Standard, because Poison Dart Frog is the cutest little guy. You know who's NOT cute!? ThaliTrog and YarglTani. Oh, and I went five colors for the privilege of having Ziatora chuck YarglTani's giant frog arse into my opponent's face. Good times. 🐸
I hope to see your thoughts on Krenko, Mob Boss one day
I played this with frogs and zombies and used maskwood nexus effects to mill my entire deck with a gaeas blessing in it so I could never deck and just had an uninteractable hand
Not gonna lie...was worried our boy would say the frog could get it....
Simic player here, that's happy with bloomburrow as I can make frog tribal deck is taking notes
I added this card to omo queen of vesuva and it is hilarious (also put in a creature that makes all zombies fly so now we have flying frogs xD
Shit like this is why the rest of us have to deal with Drannith Magistrate
Grolnok is the first misprint I ever pulled
I've been victimized by this frog before. I call it the Croak Zone
