Good to see the classic start with Wayfarer’s Bauble is back, Mitch’s power and toughness are equal to the difference between the bauble’s price and a dollar in cents divided by ten and rounded down to the nearest ten.

I actually built this commander with a dual tribal theme : Insects and Skeletons, mostly due to Grist reminding me of the Revenant enemy from Doom. So I got quite a few changelings to compensate for the dual tribal theme, and it includes Skeletal Swarming as a nice way to utilize those Skeletons. I'll look to see if I can slot in Warlock Class in the deck.

@Danothyus1 Жыл бұрын

IMO one of the coolest commanders ever made. One thing that was not mentioned here but that it works really great is that Grist counts as a creature everywhere that is not the field. This mean you can easily let him die and reanimate him with spells that bring creatures back, skipping the commander tax. When i played this deck, the turn where i use forever young, If Grist is in the grave, you can put everything back with him on top and instantly draw him back.

Love the deck techs Mitch! Constructive criticism though: I would love it if you included a section in your deck techs where you more clearly laid out the decks strategy/general play pattern. Maybe it would make more sense to weave that into your current sections for the video, but there are a couple deck techs where I've been left wondering exactly how the deck comes together. Likely I could see it if I stared at the deck list long enough, but I'd personally enjoy hearing it in the video. Perhaps others wouldn't agree though and would prefer a shorter video. 🤷‍♂️

Grist is one of my favorite commanders and I have won a lot of games with the deck. Some of my favorite cards you could include if you got them or can afford them are Scroll Rack, Beastmaster Ascension and Triumph of the Hoard. I found the tokens can easily overrun my opponents with just a few stats and being able to control what's on top of your deck helps fill your yard and board. Speaking of which you can even turn Grist itself into a potential threat with Luxior, Giada's Gift.

i love it but i hate that all it is is a "graveyard" deck so if your up against an opponent who is either exiling your graveyard or threatening to exile your graveyard, leaning on green to have artifact or enchantment removal could help alot. But then what do you do once not enough creatures are in your graveyard at all?

@victorbourguignon6897 Жыл бұрын

the thing thats nice here is that even if your graveyard is dealt with, you are producing a massive amount of insects through grist. if the grave plan fails, you can fall back on an overrun strategy and still pound faces. you can now even use luxior to voltron all out. A syr konrad also means that even if your grave survives or gets exiled, the enemies still get chunked out quite a bit.

Being a creature in the command zone allows Grist to be a legal commander.
