Grist, the Hunger Tide is a legendary planeswalker from Commander Modern Horizons 3. The art depicts a hulking insect like figure set in a murky swamp, surrounded by writhing organic forms. In color identity it leans black and green and leans into graveyard synergy. While Grist is not on the battlefield, it is a 1/1 Insect creature in addition to its other types, which creates a small but persistent threat and fuels the milling engine you build around it.
The plus one is a reliable engine you can rely on: you create a 1/1 black and green Insect creature token and mill a card. If the milled card is an Insect, Grist gains a loyalty counter and you may repeat this process. The minus two gives you a sacrifice based removal option to destroy target creature or planeswalker, providing flexible answers as the situation requires. The minus five finishes by making each opponent lose life equal to the number of creature cards in their graveyard, which scales with your graveyard focused games. This Light Play copy from MH3 supports a steady commander plan with minimal wear and solid performance.
