Claim // Fame returns a creature with mana value 2 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield, then later staples haste and a +2/+0 pump onto a creature for two mana — two spells stapled together that pay dividends across the entire game. For Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger specifically, Claim is a one-mana reanimation spell that bypasses the escape cost entirely, making it one of the most efficient ways to rebuy the titan.

Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger
Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger goes to the graveyard constantly by design, and Claim // Fame reanimates it for a single black mana — no escape cost, no hoops — then threatens to give it haste with Fame once the board state demands a faster clock.

In Commander, Claim // Fame earns its slot in any Rakdos or Grixis list that runs small, high-impact creatures it wants to rebuy — think Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger, Dockside Extortionist, or Imperial Recruiter. The split card structure means Fame is never a dead half; stapling haste onto a combo piece mid-stack or in a combat step is a real line. In Modern and Pioneer, Claim // Fame sees play in aggressive Rakdos shells that want to rebuy two-drop threats without committing to a four-mana reanimation spell. Legacy has more competition in this slot, but the card is legal and the one-mana floor keeps it honest in faster environments.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Claim // Fame is firmly bulk — one of the most efficient split cards in Rakdos colors at essentially no financial cost. Bulk rares with a clear competitive home tend to creep up if demand spikes, but at this price it's a no-brainer pickup regardless.
