Grave Birthing, Instant, designed by Craig J Spearing first released in Oct, 2015 in the set Battle for Zendikar. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
Grave Birthing would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on graveyard interaction and token generation, especially in a colorless or Eldrazi-themed deck. While Grave Birthing provides some value with card draw and token creation, there are potentially better cards available for similar effects, such as Wrench Mind for targeted discard or Bone Splinters for creature removal with a sacrifice effect. Whether Grave Birthing should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck it is included in.

Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.

Eldrazi and Scion are each separate creature types. Anything that affects Eldrazi will affect these tokens, for example.

If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object’s color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.

Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it’s just the new color, not that color and colorless.

Some instants and sorceries that create Eldrazi Scions require targets. If all targets for such a spell have become illegal by the time that spell tries to resolve, the spell won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t get any Eldrazi Scions.

The target opponent chooses which card to exile as Grave Birthing resolves.
