Snarling Gorehound keyword rules
Surveil Rule 701.42
To “surveil N” means to look at the top N cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.
If an effect allows you to look at additional cards while you surveil, those cards are included among the cards you may put into your graveyard and on top of your library in any order.
If a player is instructed to surveil 0, no surveil event occurs. Abilities that trigger whenever a player surveils won’t trigger.
An ability that triggers whenever a player surveils triggers after the process described in rule is complete, even if some or all of those actions were impossible.
Menace Rule 702.111
Menace is an evasion ability.
A creature with menace can’t be blocked except by two or more creatures. (See rule , “Declare Blockers Step.”)
Multiple instances of menace on the same creature are redundant.
