A draft Gris swarm deck. General idea is to mulligan until you have a way to play Grist, ideally T1, then use his uptick to mill to either a big creature that can threaten and distract from your ever growing swarm Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis Scourge of Nel Toth or until you have enough creatures in your grave to win with Gris’s -5

Life from the Loam allows you to ramp using your tutor lands which are in the deck to thin the number of lands you can hit once you start milling. Imperial Seal and Vampiric Tutor serve the same function but can also be used to tutor for support insects in a pinch.
