SCARIEST Planeswalker!! Grist, the Hunger Tide | MTG Lore 

I hope Grist kept her spark. She is so unique. Edit: forgot to add, Due to Grist's ability to be a 1/1 Legendary Insect when not on the battlefield, she is a legal Commander.

I think she could be from the plane after Bloomburrow. It seems to have an insect motif and a fair bit of modern horror tropes include insects and arachnids.

8:51 He’s kinda teaching grist that trust comes through demands backed by violence right here

This was so cool! Now I must build an insect deck! 🦟🦗🪲🐌🕷️🐝🐜

I would like to see a wolf, fairy, hummingbird, elemental, sliver, a accidental creation of magic and a sapient spell as planeswalkers.

That is different than what i expected Grist's story to be

I love the idea of none humanoid Planeswalkers and putting a twist on what one would expect from things from a hive mind of insects' leader and stuff, I know the comic isn't canon, but I hope Grist, morbid imagery and all, stays as a good allied (even if it's only technically) character, cuz if they make her story from the comic pseudo cannon (as in it technically happened but happened in a different way but with a similar out come) then I think I found a Planeswalker I would put high on my favorite Planeswalker list

Man! Grist is quite an interest concept Planeswalker. The fact that even an insect can gain a spark can open the opportunity for animalistic walkers that can cause havoc not as a villainous mastermind but as a force of nature unshackled. ------------------ Side Note: What a stroll through memory lane, I remembered when I once watched your series back when I was in my prime on magic lore about seven years ago. So this is quite a nostalgic return. (I noticed it’s the third season. Quite something.)

Grist is one of my favorite planewalkers as of recent. Thx for covering!

I’m hoping for more planeswalkers like this.

Your prediction really makes sense. I hope we can see Grist near in the future.

This is awesome! I hope to see more of Grist’s story in the future. It’s interesting that her arrival is heralded by that light in the sky. In the future, do you think you could do a video on what it looks like when a planeswalker planeswalks and what summoning creatures is like in the lore? Great video and I’m happy to learn more about Grist!

Ok, who do I have to pray to to get a squirrel planeswalker in bloomburrow? Maro? Gavin?

Love grist shes one of my commanders and scarily so especially with Agatha's soul cauldron. but yeah we need more inhuman walkers like the whale bolas killed or situations like grist being a force of nature or its unique natures. But also species like vashino or raccon gangster we need more cool looking ones but no like overly abundant but just more.

I like the idea of nonhumanoid Planeswalkers. I don't read the books, so I don't know the details of the character, but I would like Lord Skitter from eldraine to become a Planeswalker. It would be comical and fun to have a cosmically empowered rat monarch as a card. Anyway thanks for the video, and letting us know about this awesome character! Can't wait to see the next video, keep up the spooky work!

I am super happy to see the return of 13 nights of magic, one of my fav. Yearly mtg contents! 🖤

Grist reminds me of the harrower race from gloomhaven.

Very unique perspective, thank you for sharing!!❤

Hell Yeah Spooky Nights Magic Lore Season. Love this! Great video and cant wait to see the rest. 🎃🎃🎃 Keep up the good work Seiben.

So Grist seems to me to be like a Hunter from Halo. Since both the Letgolo worms, ack simular to Grist controling bugs to form a body.

Really glad you're doing this series again. The 13 nights of Magic was how I originally found your channel actually.

I would like to see a giant or a shapeshifter plainswalker from lorwyn

When Ajani makes an offer, you accept it 😆

That was so cool. I love your MTG Lore.

I hope you do an entry on the Rakdos guild. It's so fun and macabre that I think it is basically Halloween made a group.

Lil buddy was just looking for a meal 😅

I've been playing gristen the command slot since they came out as a playable card, she is by far one of my favorite pieces of Magic The Gathering lore.

I've always found grist to be such an interesting card, for instance stern scolding can counter her and Souldren can give all your creatures her loyalty abilities, these being just a few recent examples

Grist as a commander would be interesting. Haven’t thought about it. She is only a Planeswalker when she is on the Battlefield making her able to be your commander.

talking about weird planeswalkers really gave my mind running fuel on how scary and potentially fun an actual PHYREXIAN planeswalker be like. like, imagine some poor soul on New Phyrexia who missed the invasion because their body was not yet ready, maybe they were part of the Quiet Furnace and decided not to mess with that and instead stayed on the plane until it phased out. this individual found a world that was basically in ruins and with the praetors gone they wandered until they found Realmbreaker's last embers and the invasion tree essence grafted to them. this caused the poor sod to spark halfway on its phyresis process and without Norn's influence the oil basically formed a symbiosis with its spark. with the power of the invasion tree and maybe by finding the last remains of the praetors(making them a 5 color phyrexian) this person essentially became the quintessence of New Phyrexia but since they started under the influence of Red mana they decided to fuck over the place and instead go out of and see what the multiverse is about. imagine a Phyrexian learning to not be an infective murder robot and instead is being guided by the remnants of what Wrenn found when se grafted to the corrupted world tree.

I ADORED this story with Ajani and Grist. That would be great if it was cannon.

some flavor of text from mirage block i think referances Grist

Honestly more cards and stories on Grist would be pretty fun with her being quite unique

“Ah yes, lets introduce an invasive magical insect in this foresty la d, what could go wrong?” Honestly I am starting to understan why ajani became phyrexian.

I REALLY hope Grist can be the villain for Bloomburrow. Grist would fit right in with that set since its all animal/ anthro-animal characters. Imagine how theyd handle Grist just sweeping through the plane basically eating it alive.

I would like to suggest Grist comes from a insect plane which I'd love to see :P

The Grist poem has better writing and lore than Ashiok

13 nights, heck yea

She could make a pretty cool hero.

wow that's actually really wholesome and cute.

Worth noting that Bloomburrow specifically doesn't have humanoids.

This is totally random but they should’ve made Omnath’s spark ignite once he gained all 5 colors instead of becoming Phyrexianized

It's like if oogie boogie or one of lady demitrescues daughters only they aren't evil, but if a insect can become a walker then... we might see a sponge walker or something as crazy as a leviathan walker

Yes

If not Bloomburrow then I expect Duskmourn. Grist would be very fitting for a modern horror theme and with a plane that is a single haunted house she may have been driven to feed on less green and more blood red sources. It wouldn't even necessarily violate her pact with Ajani (from her perspective) she promised not to destroy farmland and to be renewable with resources - devouring people, if not the entire population, *is* technically renewable.

I want to see sliver planeswalker, a god planeswalker, and just to be fun a planeswalker that is just a living virus.

Thanks for this. Very cool.

Chad golgari lore

Non human planes walkers…you mean like Ugin? But animals lack a certain level of consciousnesses…generally A dolphin or whale planeswalker that would stun creatures with water waves would be cool… Like Moby Dick…maybe have a classical literature universe lol

It is possible that Grist lost her spark in the great desparking.

Her story is in the comics

I am so disappointed in the resolution of the story. Grist had the chanse to become the new ceaseless hunger, but no, it must be good at the core.

boooog

If her goals are true then the omen paths are a bad deal

What the f is all i can say.

Pretty sure that’s a demon tho

That is a cool little story and I like how they have her take that almost zombie like form it looks a lot cooler than just another bug. Lol
