Grist, Voracious Larva: Graveborn Deathtouch Engine
Grist, Voracious Larva is a mythic front-face that brings Deathtouch and a built-in graveyard engine. Whenever Grist, Voracious Larva or another creature enters the battlefield under your control, if it entered from your graveyard or you cast it from your graveyard, you may pay {B}. If you do, exile Grist, then return it to the battlefield transformed under its owner's control.
In practice this creates repeatable value for graveyard-rich strategies. The option to pay a single black mana to re-enter transformed lets you bounce Grist between sides for ongoing ETB triggers and incremental advantage. Pair it with creatures that benefit from graveyard recursion and you build toward a steady stream of pressure that scales with the board, matching the set’s theme of transformation and resourceful play.
