Grimgrin Returns
Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is a mythic threat from Innistrad Remastered that rewards sac-driven decks and patient sequencing. At {3}{U}{B} this Legendary Creature — Zombie Warrior enters tapped and skips your untap step, which forces careful timing but opens a powerful loop. Sacrifice another creature to untap Grimgrin and place a +1/+1 counter on it, letting you convert expendable bodies into a growing attacker that grinds value across turns.
When Grimgrin attacks you get a clean removal effect that fits the set’s gothic tempo. Each successful strike destroys a target creature the defending player controls and then grants Grimgrin another +1/+1 counter, so the card both clears blockers and escalates your clock. The printed wording faithfully mirrors the Innistrad Remastered text and the 5/5 body makes Grimgrin a credible attacker once the engine runs. Practical for Commander, midrange sacrifice shells, and any list that leverages tokens or recurring graveyard resources. Add Grimgrin to your deck and start turning sacrifices into inevitability.
