Grist, the Hunger Tide
Oracle Text
As long as Grist isn't on the battlefield, it's a 1/1 Insect creature in addition to its other types.
+1: Create a 1/1 black and green Insect creature token, then mill a card. If an Insect card was milled this way, put a loyalty counter on Grist and repeat this process.
−2: You may sacrifice a creature. When you do, destroy target creature or planeswalker.
−5: Each opponent loses life equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Grist, the Hunger Tide fits best in a grindy value or midrange shell that can turn small bodies into repeatable advantage. Its lore and mechanics make it feel like a swarm given predatory intelligence: off the battlefield it’s literally an Insect, and on the battlefield it turns that identity into a self-feeding engine. The +1 is the heart of the card, steadily making tokens while milling toward more Insects and graveyard resources; in decks with lots of creature density, this can snowball into extra loyalty very quickly. The −2 is excellent removal when paired with disposable tokens, sacrifice fodder, or token makers, letting you convert spare creatures into answers for nearly anything. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair Grist with sacrifice outlets, self-mill, and cheap creatures that populate the graveyard, since the −5 can end games in a hurry once your yard is stocked.
