Interesting way to do the "trolls are really hard to kill permanently" trope. I like it.

Also a 7/6 vigilant trampler is nothing to sneer at for six mana, even if it is very heavy on the green. This pretty much seals that Devotion is coming back for TBD.

nice one. Hopefully, they give us more payoffs for using "food" so we can see have a competitive food theme deck.

I like that it doesn't play well with blink shenanigans.

I dunno about this food mechanic. I'm kinda starting to get Energy vibes. Like, sure it's more subject to interaction than Energy, but this seems similarly parasitic to me.

Pushed as hell. Can't wait for the name of a major deck to be, like "Mono-Green Food."

Base case of a a 7/6 beater for 6 that your opponent has to kill twice seems pretty reasonable. Better if you have more uses (or production) for food - if a cheap producer like Attune with Aether, and some looting, could start reanimating it pretty early.

....interesting to see this alongside all the 4-mana hybrid cards. RTR block had the cycle of HHH cards (Boros Reckoner, etc), and Lorwyn block had the HHHHH cards (Deus of Calamity, etc), but I can't think of any sets specifically having a bunch of cards with four repeated mana symbols. Does seem like a plant for Devotion returning in Theros though.
