Grist, the Hunger Tide
86Format stapleLegendary Planeswalker — Grist
Duskmourn: House of Horror Commander
2HG Rating
86/100
Gains value in 2HG: hits each opponent, damage to each opponent.
- +22Hits each opponent
There are two opponents in 2HG, so every 'each opponent' clause resolves twice against a single shared life total.
- +14Damage to each opponent
Drain and burn that reads 'each opponent' comes off one shared 60-life total, so the printed number doubles.
Ratings start at a neutral 50 and are adjusted by rules derived from 2HG's structure — shared 60 life, shared turns, two opponents. They'll be recalibrated against real play rates once teams start submitting decklists.
Oracle text
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.
