Does Grim Return work with Kroxa?
Asked by GeistKing 4 years ago
I figured since he enters the battlefield but is sacrificed that Grim Return could be a cheap and effective way to sneak him onto the battlefield.
Does Grim Return not have a legal target with Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger
I was just curious because I've seen no decks running it.
Thanks!

It works for putting Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger on the battlefield, but you'll still have to sacrifice Kroxa. You'll at least get another copy of Kroxa's discard/life loss ETB trigger.
The reason it doesn't quite work for sneaking Kroxa onto the battlefield is because of Kroxa's first triggered ability. Unless Kroxa escaped--meaning you used Kroxa's Escape ability to cast it--you will have to sacrifice Kroxa when it enters the battlefield. This can be from hard-casting it for , reanimating it with Grim Return, putting it onto the battlefield tapped and attacking with Ilharg, the Raze-Boar (and it won't even get to the Declare Blockers step), or any other number of means. If it didn't escape, then you trigger Kroxa's first ability.
