About Grave Betrayal

Grave Betrayal, Enchantment, designed by Lucas Graciano first released in Oct, 2012 in the set Return to Ravnica. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 23.53.

Grave Betrayal would be excellent in a control or midrange deck that focuses on board presence and generating value from creature deaths. It synergizes well with sacrifice effects, removal spells, and mass creature removal, allowing you to consistently steal and boost your opponent's creatures. However, in a competitive setting, the high mana cost of Grave Betrayal makes it slow and vulnerable to counterspells or removal, so it may not be the most efficient choice in a fast-paced environment. Better alternatives include Grave Pact, a lower-cost enchantment that forces opponents to sacrifice creatures, or Rise of the Dark Realms, which can bring all creatures from all graveyards under your control for a game-winning swing.

Rules

10/01/12

Grave Betrayal doesn’t overwrite any previous colors or types. Rather, it adds another color and another creature type.

10/01/12

If a creature you don’t control dies during the end step, that creature won’t return to the battlefield until the beginning of the next end step.

10/01/12

If the creature card leaves the graveyard before the delayed triggered ability resolves, it won’t return to the battlefield. This is also true if the card leaves the graveyard and returns to the graveyard before that ability resolves.

10/01/12

In a multiplayer game, if more than one player controls a Grave Betrayal and a creature controlled by none of those players dies, each Grave Betrayal will create a delayed triggered ability at the beginning of the next end step. The first such ability to resolve will return the creature. Usually, this will be one controlled by the player furthest from the active player in turn order.
