Character Background
Grist, Voracious Larva // Grist, the Plague Swarm is at its best when you treat it like a slow-feeding engine that turns the opponent’s resources into your inevitability. As the Larva, Grist grows into a recurring threat by feeding on sacrifice fodder and constantly threatening to convert board presence into advantage; once you reach the Plague Swarm, you swing from “grindy value” into a hard-to-stabilize swarm strategy where every extra artifact, creature, or targeted removal spell the opponent casts often benefits you instead. This card supports a grindy control-to-value game plan: you stabilize with value, then bury the enemy under proliferating menace and recurring bodies. For deckbuilding, lean hard into food and self-sacrifice shells—cards that make disposable creatures or tokens (and reliable ways to put counters on things) let you accelerate the transformation and maintain pressure. Pair with black-x disruption to keep the board clear long enough for Grist to snowball.
