Grist, Voracious Larva // Grist, the Plague Swarm

Hidden Herbalists

Doubling Season

Body Launderer

Yahenni, Undying Partisan

How it works

1. Activate Yahenni by sacrificing Body Launderer.
2. When Body Launderer dies, its second ability triggers, returning Grist, Voracious Larva from your graveyard to the battlefield.
3. When Grist, Voracious Larva enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to pay to exile it and return it to the battlefield as Grist, the Plague Swarm with six loyalty counters due to Doubling Season.
4. Resolve the Yahenni ability.
5. Activate Grist, the Plague Swarm's third loyalty ability by removing six loyalty counters from it.
6. Grist, the Plague Swarm is put into your graveyard as a state-based action due to having zero loyalty.
7. Resolve the Grist, the Plague Swarm ability, creating two token copies of each creature card in your graveyard that are 1/1 Insects.
8. Put all but one of the Grist, Voracious Larva tokens into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
9. When the Grist, Voracious Larva and Hidden Herbalist tokens enter the battlefield, each Hidden Herbalist token triggers once and each Grist, Voracious Larva token triggers for each token created this way.
10. Resolve all Grist, Voracious Larva triggers, choosing not to pay.
11. Resolve both Hidden Herbalist triggers, adding .
12. Activate Yahenni by sacrificing the Grist, Voracious Larva token.
13. Repeat from step 1, sacrificing a Body Launderer token instead.

This fascinating loop transforms the graveyard into an endless engine of resurrection and replication by turning Grist, Voracious Larva and Body Launderer into perpetual sacrifice fodder. When Grist uses its ultimate, Doubling Season steps in to double the resulting tokens—allowing you to flood the board with Insect copies of everything in your graveyard, including more copies of Grist and Hidden Herbalists. Those copies of Hidden Herbalists trigger revolt to continually refund green mana, while Yahenni, Undying Partisan safely protects your life totals and provides the necessary sacrifice outlet to keep the cycle spinning.
