Does Grabber require all three conditions (recycle 3, tapping the card, and paying 1 energy) to activate its effect?

Ruling: Yes, all three requirements must be met to activate the ability. Everything to the left of the semicolon represents the cost that must be paid.

Sequence:

  • Recycle 3 cards from your trash
  • Pay 1 energy
  • Exhaust the Grabber
  • Draw 1 card

Nuances:

  • If you don't have 3 cards in your trash or 1 energy to spend, you cannot use the ability
  • The ability can be used when you first summon Grabber
