'''Grist, The Plague Swarm''' is a black and green insectoid Planeswalker, introduced in July 2024 with [https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/90561/release-notes-6-7-0 Release 6.7.0] and the [[Puzzle Masters 2]] card set.

She has a penultimate mana bonus total, even after it was reduced. Her positive bonuses total 9, which is one more than usual for a dual color walker. [[Saheeli Rai]] has a higher total of 11, in her primary colors, and-in the remaining colors. Grist has high gains in her colors, a small Red bonus, and neutral White and Blue (White was originally +1). She has very high health, high creature and spell limits, and a low support limit.

Her abilities are powerful, in part because many of them are dual purpose. She has a Passive ability-rare for a dual color Planeswalker, as Passives were introduced as a balance to make single color Planeswalkers more attractive. Synergizing with her first ability, it functions primarily as a mana source. Her first ability simultaneously feeds the graveyard and moves a creature if any from there, to play. Her second ability is similar to a lot of early Planeswalkers; destroying supports, but also Vanguards, while also creating 1/1 green and black Insect tokens. The ultimate Exiles all cards from all graveyards, creates Insects, and damages the opponent, gaining that much life.

== Story ==
''"Grist is a Black and Green Planeswalker from an undisclosed plane. She is an ever-hungry insect and one of the few non-humanoid Planeswalkers. Grist has the power to amass a swarm of insects that she can transform into a powerful body for herself. She is known for consuming vegetation until the land is barren."''

==Starting Deck==
{{Deck List
|
}}

== Notes ==
Grist is humanoid. Humanoid universally means, two arms, two legs, torso, waist, shoulders, head on top..the shape of a human. Perhaps what they mean is, mammalian? She is an insect, rather than a mammal. Even if you were just using the word differently, if a Soratami or Merfolk or Gorgon or Minotaur is a humanoid, so is Grist.

The in-game text, as of near release, read amusingly differently than the forum listing:
:''"Grist is a Black and Green Planeswalker from an undisclosed plane. She is an ever-hunger insect and one of the fewest non-humanoid Planeswalker. Grist has the power to ammas a swarm of insects that she can turn into a great body for her and she is known for consuming vegetal life until the land is dry."''
