Grist, the Hunger Tide stands out in the 2021 Modern Horizons 2 Promos set as a distinctive foil mythic rare card that blends creature and planeswalker dynamics. Designed with a mana cost of {1}{B}{G}, this three-mana Legendary Planeswalker offers a versatile toolkit for players seeking to leverage graveyard strategies and token generation. The card’s unique design ensures that while it rests in the command zone, it simultaneously functions as a 1/1 black and green Insect creature, bridging the gap between strategic planning and immediate battlefield presence. The mechanics centered around Grist reward players for milling cards, a core component of many Magic: The Gathering archetypes. By activating its +1 ability, players create a 1/1 Insect creature token and mill a card from the top of their library. If the milled card happens to be an Insect, the ability repeats, allowing for rapid loyalty growth and board development. This synergy makes the card particularly appealing to collectors and players who enjoy intricate, multi-step interactions that define modern competitive play. For those building a collection of high-value Magic cards, the foil finish and mythic rare status of Grist, the Hunger Tide make it a desirable addition. The card was illustrated by Yongjae Choi, whose artwork complements the card’s dark and eerie aesthetic. As a promotional release from the Modern Horizons 2 set, identified by set code PMH2 and card number 202s, this card represents a significant piece of Magic history. Its ability to destroy target creatures or planeswalkers by sacrificing other tokens, or to deal significant life loss to opponents via its ultimate ability, highlights its power in various game formats. Collectors value this card not just for its artistic merit but for its mechanical innovation within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game ecosystem.

As long as Grist isn't on the battlefield, it's a 1/1 Insect creature in addition to its other types. +1: Create a 1/1 black and green Insect creature token, then mill a card. If an Insect card was milled this way, put a loyalty counter on Grist and repeat this process. −2: You may sacrifice a creature. When you do, destroy target creature or planeswalker. −5: Each opponent loses life equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard.
