Ashcashcash Can you elaborate in detail how you go infinite with food chain in this build? I'm a little slow. The deck looks great +1

Why is Grazing Gladehart in the deck? It seems subpar, even if Azusa was the commander. I would cut it for Loaming Shaman for Fierce Empath , I prefer empath but even something else would be fine. I just feel he is so lackluster. Maybe Song of the Dryads to mess with their commander, bonus points if they are playing B/R because they can't get their commander back.

I would cut Tranquil Thicket for Prismatic Vista

No cradle?

I don't play Food Chain in the deck anymore, but you can combo it with Titania, Protector of Argoth and Command Beacon.

1. Have Food Chain and Command Beacon on the battlefield, and enough mana to cast Titania, Protector of Argoth.

2. Cast Titania, Protector of Argoth.

3. Activate Command Beacon's second ability, sacrificing it and putting its ability on the stack. This triggers Titania's ability. Resolve Titania's ability and get a 5/3 green Elemental creature token. Don't resolve Command Beacon's ability yet.

4. Exile Titania with Food Chain and get 6 green mana for creature spells. Put Titania into the command zone instead of exile.

5. Resolve Command Beacon's ability, putting Titania from your command zone into your hand.

6. Cast Titania.

7. Titania's ETB triggers. Target Command Beacon, returning it to the battlefield.

You can repeat these steps for infinite green mana to cast creature spells and infinite elementals. If you have a land sacrifice outlet, you can filter the creature mana by tapping a land for mana, sacrificing it, then casting Titania with the creature mana, returning the the land you sacrificed, then tapping it for mana, sacrificing it again, exiling Titania with Food Chain and putting her back into the command zone, then repeating.

Otherwise, if you have a Walking Ballista in hand, you just cast it for 3,000,00 and kill everyone.

Grazing Gladehart is good in the deck from all the repeated landfall. It's nice having a large life total. Fierce Empath seems like an interesting card, but I would want like 1-2 more 6 CMC+ creature targets for it before I would include it in the deck.

I haven't played Song of the Dryads, but removal is pretty good. Normally, my opponents are dead before I care about removing problematic permanents though.

I'm still working on the land base for the deck because most of the better lands are expensive, and I'd rather buy them in foil first. Prismatic Vista will definitely be in the deck eventually. Tranquil Thicket synergizes well with Life from the Loam, so I'll probably keep it in.

Thank you for taking the time to explain that synergy, that would seem really fun to play against!

I understand the foil fanfare, foils just make the deck feel so much better. I love it. I still feel that Grazing Gladeheart padding your life total doesn't interact with your opponent or progress your boardstate in any meaningful way, its winmore, if that. Maybe add in more card draw in it's place or even Harmonize? I guess my question is, has there ever been a time that it has been helpful (ex: against aggro) and how many times out of all the games you play is it impactful?
