Grist, Voracious Larva: Gravebound Deathtouch Starter
Grist costs a single green and enters the battlefield as a 1/2 with deathtouch, providing an immediate, menace-filled presence. Its real strength lies in its built-in graveyard interaction: whenever Grist or another creature enters under your control from your graveyard, or you cast it from your graveyard, you may pay {G}. If you do, exile Grist and return it to the battlefield transformed under its owner's control. This setup rewards careful timing and ongoing graveyard activity, enabling recurring pressure across multiple combat steps.
In practice, Grist supports a graveyard-centric plan by turning recurred creatures into fresh threats with the transform mechanic. The borderless textured foil finish enhances its display value, making Grist a memorable centerpiece in Modern Horizons 3 collections. For players who enjoy interlocking synergies and resilient plays, Grist provides a reliable path to value that scales with the game state.
