Gameplay

Legendary Planeswalker — Grist

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.

Count the number of creature cards in your graveyard as the third loyalty ability resolves to determine how much life each opponent loses. If Grist is in your graveyard at this time, it'll be a creature card and will contribute to the count.

Grist's second loyalty ability doesn't require a target. If you choose to sacrifice a creature as it resolves, the reflexive triggered ability triggers and you'll choose a target creature or planeswalker to destroy. This will happen even if Grist isn't on the battlefield when the loyalty ability resolves.

Grist, the Hunger Tide can be your commander as its first ability works before the game begins during deck construction.
