Grimgrin Returns
Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is a compact engine for sacrifice and incremental advantage. The Innistrad Remastered foil shows Grimgrin arriving tapped and slow to start, but every traded minion converts into tempo and growth. Sacrifice another creature to untap Grimgrin and place a plus one slash plus one counter on it and you convert fodder into a threat that grows each time it hits or is reanimated.
Practical on both offense and attrition decks, Grimgrin works well with discard fodder, token producers, and recursion effects. When Grimgrin attacks, you destroy a blocker the defender controls and then add another plus one slash plus one counter to him, which keeps pressure steady and obliges removal. This Near Mint foil from Innistrad Remastered is a mythic centerpiece for a black blue graveyard plan and reads clearly at the table.
