What it does
Menace
When this creature enters, search your library for a card with mana value less than or equal to your devotion to black, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. You lose 3 life. (Each {B} in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to black.)
Rulings
6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2024-06-07
If a card in a player's library has X in its mana cost, X is 0 when determining that card's mana value.
- 2024-06-07
Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).
- 2024-06-07
If you put an Aura on an opponent's permanent, you still control the Aura, and mana symbols in its mana cost count towards your devotion. Similarly, if you make an opponent the protector of a Siege you control, mana symbols in that battle's mana cost count toward your devotion.
- 2024-06-07
Colorless and generic mana symbols ({C}, {0}, {1}, {2}, {X}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
- 2024-06-07
Count the number of black mana symbols among the mana costs of permanents you control as Grim Servant's triggered ability resolves to determine your devotion to black. If Grim Servant is still on the battlefield at that time, it will be included in that count.
- 2024-06-07
Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Grim Servant. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.
Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
