“Grindy Mardu recursion engine that attacks for value and reanimates endlessly.”
Kroxa and Kunoros is a recursion powerhouse that turns your graveyard into a resource engine. Every time it enters or attacks, you're fueling a creature reanimation loop by exiling five cards and bringing back a threat from your yard. The deck wants to fill your graveyard quickly with self-mill effects, discard outlets, and card draw, then leverage those resources to rebirth your best creatures repeatedly. You're essentially treating Kroxa as a repeatable reanimation spell that also swings for 6 with vigilance and lifelink.
Your gameplan involves filling the yard early with cheap discard effects, tutors, and creatures that want to be discarded. Once Kroxa lands, you're generating value every combat step—attacking every turn with vigilance means you're almost always ready to recurse. Pair this with creatures that have strong enter-the-battlefield effects or keywords, and you create a grinding, value-based strategy where opponents can't keep up with your recursion. You can also leverage white's reanimation suite and black's creature tutors to set up which creatures hit the yard.
The deck wins through sustained creature damage amplified by evasion and resilience. Menace makes Kroxa hard to block, lifelink keeps you alive while you're attacking, and your recursive creatures generate so much pressure that opponents simply can't race or contain you. Include some sacrifice outlets and aristocrat synergies to convert your reanimated creatures into additional value before they inevitably get exiled to fuel the next cycle.

Skip expensive tutors like Vampiric Tutor and use modal spells like Dress Down or Flare of Denial; lean on self-mill from cards like Stitcher's Supplier and Grisly Salvage instead of pricey draw engines.
