Grenzo, Dungeon Warden is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
01
Official card text
Grenzo enters with X +1/+1 counters on it.: Put the bottom card of your library into your graveyard. If it's a creature card with power less than or equal to Grenzo's power, put it onto the battlefield.
How it works : Grenzo, Dungeon Warden
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Compare Grenzo's power when the ability resolves with the power of the creature card in your graveyard to determine if you put it onto the battlefield. If Grenzo isn't on the battlefield at this time, use its last known power from when it was on the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If the card is a creature card with power less than or equal to Grenzo's power, it's put onto the battlefield from your graveyard, not from your library. Players can't attempt to exile it from your graveyard in response.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If a replacement effect (such as that of Leyline of the Void) causes the card to be put from your library directly into exile, you'll put it onto the battlefield from exile if it's a creature card with appropriate power.
No other card is named in this ruling.
