Help with grist mill deck

Commander Deck Help forum

My commander Grist, the Hunger Tide mills until he mills a non Insect so I use Maskwood Nexus to make all my creatures into Insects and I was thinking about using Mycosynth Lattice to make everything else into artifacts but I need some help to get this across the finish line. My end goal is for this to mill the entire deck, also it has to be green/black or colorless

Howdy friend! Coincidentally I just built a Grist EDH deck that works very similarly to what you are describing. I don't use Maskwood Nexus but I do mill 30 insects and combo to win the game! Here's the list if you want to check it out :) Oops, All Bugs!! 2: Electric Bugaloo

My goal is to use ad few actual insects as possible and to use other cards to turn anything that exist in my decks into insects. I am almost there I need a card to turn all the artifacts in my deck into creatures preferably this would be an Enchantment or an artifact

Sorry but I do not believe there is any combination of magic cards capable of doing what you want (turning all cards not in play into creatures). I think your best bet would be to either run a ton of creatures + the maskwood, and hope for good RNG. Or run a deck stacking effect like I have done in my list. Best of luck with your idea

If you need more Nexus type cards you can use Ashes of the Fallen and/or Conspiracy. :)

I believe Ashes will work with Grist. However it does not work with Zask, Skittering Swarmlord (as the Commander) unfortunately. :(
