Related Rules
If a spell has multiple instances of affinity, each of them applies.
Affinity
Affinity is a static ability that functions while the spell with affinity is on the stack. “Affinity for [text]” means “This spell costs {1} less to cast for each [text] you control.”
Convoke
Convoke is a static ability that functions while the spell with convoke is on the stack. “Convoke” means “For each colored mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature of that color you control rather than pay that mana. For each generic mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature you control rather than pay that mana.”
The convoke ability isn’t an additional or alternative cost and applies only after the total cost of the spell with convoke is determined.
Multiple instances of convoke on the same spell are redundant.
Rulings
If you don't have a creature card in your graveyard with one mana value, you just continue on to the next.
Gruesome Menagerie doesn't target the cards to return. You choose them while it's resolving. No players may take actions between the time you make each choice and the time you return them to the battlefield.
All of the returned cards enter the battlefield at the same time.
If a card in your graveyard has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
