Format: Commander

Commander: Grist, the Hunger Tide

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Grist, the Hunger Tide leads a Golgari Insect-token deck that uses the commander's +1 to make Insects and mill, while self-mill cards (Old Rutstein, Old Stickfingers, dredge) stock the graveyard for Aatchik, Izoni, and Grist's ultimate. The primary plan is to go wide with Insect tokens and finish with Overrun or death-trigger drains from Bastion of Remembrance, Cauldron of Essence, and Aatchik. Secondary paths include Grist's -5 as a mass-drain finisher and Lich-Knights' Conquest to rebuild after wipes. There is no hidden commander; Grist is both the engine and a removal piece, and the deck is built around its Insect typing and loyalty abilities.
