Gameplay and rules
Legendary Creature — Human Advisor
Gríma can't be blocked.
Whenever Gríma deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile an instant or sorcery card. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then that player puts the exiled cards that weren't cast this way on the bottom of their library in a random order.

If that player exiles their entire library without exiling an instant or sorcery card, they will randomize the order of the exiled cards, and the cards then become that player's library, ending the effect. They will not continue to exile and randomize their library forever.

If you choose not to cast the card, it is put on the bottom of its owner's library in a random order along with the other exiled cards.
