Deck Strategy – Grist, the Hunger Tide Insect Mill

Theme: Insect tribal with a strong focus on self-mill to fuel recursion and graveyard payoffs.

---

Gameplan

Early Game: Ramp with cheap rocks (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Sakura-Tribe Elder) and self-mill with Stitcher’s Supplier, Satyr Wayfinder, Glowspore Shaman, and Mesmeric Orb.

Mid Game: Cast Grist, the Hunger Tide for steady removal and token generation. Keep filling the graveyard with Hermit Druid, Grisly Salvage, and Crawling Sensation.

Late Game: Leverage big graveyard payoffs like Lord of Extinction, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, Splinterfright, and Spider Spawning to overwhelm the board or drain the table.

---

Win Conditions

Graveyard Beatdown: Giant Lord of Extinction, Splinterfright, or Nemesis of Mortals crashing in.

Drain Kill: Sacrifice Lord of Extinction to Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to chunk life totals.

Token Swarm: Hornet Queen, Ishkanah, and Spider Spawning overwhelm combat.

Mill/Combo: Altar of Dementia + endless tokens/self-mill eventually mills out opponents.
