Item Description

This is where it all started. Food Chain first appeared in Mercadian Masques in 1999 as a curious three-mana green enchantment: exile a creature you control to add X mana of any one color, where X is 1 plus that creature's mana value, with the mana spendable only on creature spells. Years later, players discovered just how far that could go.

Combine it with a creature that can be cast from exile, such as Eternal Scourge, Misthollow Griffin or Squee, the Immortal, and each exile-and-recast loop produces one more mana than it costs. The result is as much creature mana as you want, and Commander decks led by Prossh, Skyraider of Kher or Tazri, Beacon of Unity have made it the heart of their game plan. It is also a handy way to turn a doomed creature into a burst of mana for something bigger.

This is the Mercadian Masques printing, collector number 246, a rare illustrated by Val Mayerik, offered here in non-foil. For players who want the card's original artwork and frame, this first printing is the one with the history behind it.
