Kroxa and Kunoros
The team-up cards that fuse two legends into one hybrid are usually built as fan-service mashups, but this one is stranger: it grafts the graveyard-hungry title beast onto the underworld guard dog and then makes them collaborate on a mechanic neither ran alone. Kroxa cared about escaping itself back into play; Kunoros cared about locking opponents out of their own graveyards. The composite instead runs a reanimation engine off your own bin. The exile clause is the balancing wall: five cards is a steep tithe, so the trigger asks whether your graveyard is deep enough to feed the loop before it hands you a body back, and paying it thins the very resource that fuels the next activation. What keeps the engine turning is the "enters or attacks" cadence, which converts each combat step into another reanimation window instead of stranding all the value on cast. Vigilance means attacking never costs you the block, so the giant is always available to trigger again next turn. Lifelink offsets whatever the attrition plan bleeds along the way. Menace is the survival clause that matters most: it forces two blockers to deal with a body the deck cannot afford to lose, protecting the recursion loop from a single chump or trade. The Mardu color identity points squarely at a grindy attrition plan, one that expects the game to run long enough for five graveyard cards to become a routine cost.
