Experimental Confectioner

Food went from incidental lifegain to a resource engine the moment a card treated sacrificing it as a trigger rather than a cost. Here the loop runs one direction and pays out in bodies: each Food you crack (this card hands you the first one on entry) leaves behind a 1/1 Rat, so a set of tokens that normally exists to gain 3 life and disappear now doubles as a repeatable creature generator. Those Rats can't block, which pins the design firmly on the aggressive side of the aristocrats spectrum: the tokens are built to attack and to feed sacrifice outlets, not to hold a board. That reframes what Food is worth in a deck built around this. A Food is no longer a static "gain 3 later" toggle; it is a stored attacker and a sacrifice payload, and the lifegain becomes the rider rather than the point. The 2/3 body is deliberately unglamorous because the value is in what the card turns your other cards into: any effect that eats Food, any artifact-sacrifice payoff, any outlet that wants fodder, all of it now spits out a Rat on the way through. It is a converter, sitting at the junction where the Food subtheme and the token-swarm subtheme overlap and asking you to run both at once.
