If I have Umori, the Collector as a companion on a Grist, the Hunger Tide mono insect deck and I activate +1 I will mill all my deck, how could I win with that?
Edit: I forget about the lands sorry but any help it's good to improve my deck, I need a list of all golgari mtg insects legal in comander so I can filter my favorite of them in this deck, if someone have the list I will be very happy, thanks.
legendofa anything is helpful, but I'm searching a way to combo with that mill things, and thanks for the list

legendofa what I need it's an all insect deck (because of omori companion) so I can't use sorcery or something else

Ah, that's right. There aren't many Insects that want cards in your graveyard. Zask, Skittering Swarmlord is a keystone for this sort of deck (I think it was specifically made with Grist in mind), but then you need to start making some choices.

I should point out that the deck doesn't have to be Insects only. Umori, the Collector limits card types, not subtypes. You can use all the creatures you want. If you want to go mono-Insect for Grist, that's a valid strategy, but not required for Umori.

This is a list of Commander-legal insects in color identity.

This one is Changeling cards, for some extra fill.
Assuming you somehow get all lands out of your deck, since you don't have access to for Laboratory Maniac, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, or Thassa's Oracle, you need to win before you draw another card, or reshuffle your graveyard and make it your library. Gaea's Blessing and similar cards can help. Concordant Crossroads gives creatures haste, and some cards in these colors reward you for milling/putting cards into your graveyard.
Are you looking for any specific eff cts, or just anything that might be helpful?
