Instant MV 3

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Choose target creature card in a graveyard that was put there from the battlefield this turn. Put that card onto the battlefield under your control.

Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2013-07-01

    You can choose a creature card in any player’s graveyard as long as that card was put there from the battlefield during the turn. A creature card that was put into a graveyard from anywhere else, such as a card that was discarded, can’t be chosen as the target.

  • 2013-07-01

    Creature spells that are countered never entered the battlefield, so those cards can’t be chosen as the target of Grim Return.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Grim Return

1 printing, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Grim Return. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
