Grist, the Hunger Tide stands as a distinctive Legendary Planeswalker from the 2021 Modern Horizons 2 expansion. Designed by artist Yongjae Choi, this Mythic Rare card (number 368) offers a unique mechanical blend that bridges the gap between creature tactics and planeswalker abilities. The card’s identity begins with its dual nature. As long as Grist remains off the battlefield, it functions as a 1/1 Insect creature in addition to its other types. This hybrid characteristic allows it to interact with effects that target creatures, providing a layer of resilience and strategic depth that is rare for planeswalkers. This duality makes it a compelling inclusion for collectors who appreciate versatile card designs that offer multiple layers of gameplay potential. When summoned, Grist’s abilities revolve around resource generation and board control. Its positive loyalty ability creates a black and green Insect creature token and mills a card from the top of the library. If the milled card is an Insect, the ability triggers again, placing a loyalty counter on Grist, which rewards players for maintaining a graveyard presence of these specific creatures. This mechanic encourages deck builders to consider graveyard synergy and token strategies. The negative abilities focus on removal and late-game devastation. Grist can sacrifice a creature to destroy a target opponent’s creature or planeswalker, offering a cost-effective answer to threats. Its ultimate ability causes each opponent to lose life equal to the number of creature cards in the controller’s graveyard, turning accumulated resources into direct damage. This progression from early-game token creation to late-game board wipes makes Grist a versatile asset in many Magic: The Gathering decks.
