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

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Golgari graveyard-centric value deck commanded by Grist, Voracious Larva // Grist, the Plague Swarm. The primary game plan is to fill the graveyard as quickly as possible through self-mill, dredge, and discard effects, then weaponize that stocked yard with mass reanimation, drain engines, and the commander's ultimate. The deck combines a dense self-mill package (Stitcher's Supplier, Satyr Wayfinder, Hermit Druid, Ripples of Undeath) with a suite of reanimation spells (Reanimate, Animate Dead, Living Death, Victimize) to repeatedly deploy threats. Key win conditions include the Syr Konrad, the Grim + Mindcrank mill-drain loop, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord flinging a huge creature, Living Death for a massive board swing, and Grist's -6 ultimate that creates a copy of every creature card in the graveyard. The deck is resilient in resource generation but vulnerable to a single resolved piece of graveyard hate.
