Released in 2021 as card number 202, Grist, the Hunger Tide stands as one of the most mechanically intricate legends in the Modern Horizons 2 set. Crafted by artist Yongjae Choi, this Mythic Rare card merges the creature and planeswalker types, offering a unique gameplay experience that rewards strategic graveyard management. Unlike traditional legends, Grist remains a 1/1 Insect creature when not on the battlefield, creating a persistent threat that opponents must constantly address. The card’s abilities revolve around creating Insect tokens and milling cards from the opponent's library. Activating its positive ability allows players to generate a token and mill a card; if that milled card is an Insect, Grist gains loyalty counters, encouraging repetitive activation. The negative ability provides removal power by sacrificing a creature to destroy another permanent, while the ultimate ability deals massive damage to opponents based on the number of creature cards in the graveyard. This design makes Grist, the Hunger Tide a favorite among collectors who appreciate complex mechanics and thematic depth. As a Mythic Rare from Modern Horizons 2, it represents a high-tier addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. The card’s dual nature as both a creature and a planeswalker offers distinct strategic possibilities, making it a standout piece for enthusiasts of the game. Whether used for its powerful effects or valued as a key collectible from the MH2 expansion, this card captures the innovative spirit of Modern Horizons. The combination of iconic design, powerful rules text, and high rarity makes Grist a memorable entry in the Modern Horizons 2 lineup.
