grist self mill/reanim by user7848101

Format: Commander

Commander: Grist, Voracious Larva // Grist, the Plague Swarm

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Golgari graveyard-insect deck that mills aggressively and converts a full graveyard into an unstoppable token horde. Grist, Voracious Larva begins as a cheap deathtouch creature, but the deck is built around transforming into Grist, the Plague Swarm: a planeswalker that mills, makes Insect tokens, removes artifacts/enchantments, and ultimately copies every creature card in the graveyard. Grist, the Hunger Tide and Zask, Skittering Swarmlord operate as hidden commanders, while Living Death, Aatchik, Izoni, and Colossal Grave-Reaver supply board-critical mass. The primary plan is self-mill into mass reanimation/combat; secondary lines use planeswalker ultimates and insect-synergy tokens to drain or overwhelm.
