Okay Grozoth's text is as follows:

Oracle text: Defender (This creature can’t attack.)
When Grozoth comes into play, you may search your library for any number of cards that have converted mana cost 9, reveal them, and put them into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library.
4: Grozoth loses defender until end of turn.
Transmute 1UU

This means you can search your library for any number of cards, each of which is equal to 9; and not any number of cards whose combinded total is equal to nine, right?  I'm almost positive that it is supposed to be the former, I just wanted to make sure that it really works that way; because the wording is a little bit strange.

Yes, you can search for multiple Green Myojin's if you want too. Please note the lack of the word "total" for the part about converted mana cost 9. In that case you could search for multiple cards that add to 9. But as it is worded now, it can strip your deck of every 9 CC card that you can / want to find.

Forget all that namby-pamby stuff about searching your library!  The real power of the Grozoth lies here:

"4: Grozoth loses defender until end of turn."

That is the single most intimidating ability in the history of Magic.  Try it sometime:  just point at an opponent who is giving you grief and then calmly indicate the tell-tale LACK of Defender on your Grozoth.  They frequently get the point without having to resort to any uncivilized combat.

The normally passive Grozoth answers to only one man...

That man being one Shane Stoots, who managed to Squelch, Interdict, AND Bind Grozoth's puny attempts to lose defender.
