Exile a creature you control: Add X mana of any one color, where X is 1 plus the exiled creature's mana value. Spend this mana only to cast creature spells.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Food Chain is a quintessential combo engine in Magic: The Gathering, turning creatures into explosive bursts of mana and rewarding decks built to recycle bodies efficiently. In gameplay terms, it best supports combo and value-oriented creature shells, especially lists that can repeatedly generate creatures with enter-the-battlefield effects or recursive threats. Because the mana can only be spent on creature spells, the ideal deck is packed with creatures that either replace themselves or provide game-ending payoffs when cast multiple times. A key synergy tip is to pair it with inexpensive creatures that make tokens, creatures from exile-friendly loops, or commanders that reduce the cost of repeated casting. In Double Masters 2022, its mythic status reflects how dangerous and build-around it is: once active, it can convert an ordinary board presence into a chain reaction of bigger threats, letting you jump far ahead on tempo while assembling a decisive board state.
