Greta, Sweettooth Scourge

Halfling Food Tribal Update : Wilds of Eldraine

With the release of Wilds of Eldraine, Halfling Food Tribal is getting sweet upgrades!

Bonus update:  In: Bake into a Pie , Out: Voracious Fell Beast

Greta, Sweettooth Scourge is a great flexible card that creates a Food token on EtB, it offers cards draw by paying and sacrificing a Food, and by paying and sacrificing a Food it let us put a +1/+1 counter on target creature at sorcery speed. Its flexibility and Food synergy make it a great inclusion for our Halfling Food Tribal. Mentor of the Meek might be slightly better as a card draw source, but falls behind in overall synergy.

Night of the Sweets’ Revenge works wonders with our Food token strategy since Food tokens become mana rocks providing us with extreme ramp. It even creates a Food token on EtB so we can get instant value. Moreover, by paying and sacrificing it, creatures we control get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of Foods we control. With our Food strategy it can become a great finisher. Inspiring Statuary has similar utility, costs less, but the mana it produces is instead of which can make a difference. In addition the mana that Night of the Sweets’ Revenge produces is not restricted to non-artifact spells. Last but not least, the finisher ability is very strong in our build and makes Night of the Sweets’ Revenge a clear upgrade.

Experimental Confectioner creates a Food Token on EtB and offers a great Food sacrifice payoff: Whenever we sacrifice a Food, we create a 1/1 black Rat creature token with “This creature can’t block”. With our Halfling Food Tribal we create numerous Food tokens so it has the potential to provide us with numerous Rats. Great utility that makes sacrificing even sweeter! Bill the Pony fits the flavor of the deck and the Food tokens it creates on EtB are nice, but it remains an average card as its other ability is irrelevant to our build. I’m sorry for Bill, but the difference in power overcomes flavor here.

Restless Cottage is a nice utility land that has Food synergy and it can help with graveyard hate. By paying it becomes a 4/4 green Horror creature until end of turn and whenever it attacks,  we create a Food Token and exile up to one target card from a graveyard. It is a clear upgrade from a Forest.

Bake into a Pie is an instant target removal that destroys target creature and we create a Food token. Although it seems average, synergy and flavor makes it a nice inclusion to our Halfling Food tribal. Voracious Fell Beast is more expensive and a clearly worse removal in most cases.
