Grandeur is an ability word that was introduced in Future Sight,[1] seen on a cycle of five legendary creatures in that set.
Description
Grandeur is an activated ability that is played by discarding a card with the same name as the card the ability appears on.
Mark Rosewater called the return of Grandeur unlikely, because of the popularity of the Commander format. The problem is it’s tied to legendary yet meaningless in the format (Commander) that cares most about that supertype.[2][3]
It has been discussed if Grandeur could be put on non-legendary creatures.[4][5]
Rulings
- The grandeur ability can be played only while the creature that has it is in play. To play the ability, a different card with the same name must be discarded.
