Grist Of The Swarm

Grist of the Swarm is a Golgari (black-green) Commander deck built as a graveyard-based insect/sacrifice swarm deck. It fills the graveyard quickly with self-mill cards like Hermit Druid, Mesmeric Orb, Stitcher’s Supplier, Satyr Wayfinder, Grisly Salvage, and Life from the Loam, then turns that graveyard into value and board presence.

Its main synergies revolve around insects, token production, recursion, and sacrifice outlets. Cards like Grist, the Hunger Tide, Izoni, Thousand-Eyed, Zask, Skittering Swarmlord, Crawling Infestation/Sensation, Scute Swarm, Ant Queen, and Hornet Queen help flood the board, while Ashnod’s Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Altar of Dementia, and Nantuko Husk convert creatures into mana, mill, or damage.
