Heaped Harvest
Rampant Growth stapled to a Food, with a second helping folded into the same card. The design trick is that the land search fires on two separate triggers: once when the artifact enters, and again on a plain triggered ability when you sacrifice it. That second fetch is what elevates the built-in sacrifice ability beyond a life-gain button. Crack it for three life and you also pull a basic on the way out, so the artifact's exit is itself a ramp spell rather than a spent token. But the two fetches are strictly sequential, not simultaneous: the first arrives with the artifact, the second only as it leaves. There is no repeatable engine and no lingering mana sink, because once you activate the sacrifice ability the artifact is gone and both fetches have resolved. Both basics enter tapped and only ever basics, so this is patient ramp, not the explosive kind; the tempo hit is the price for stacking two Rampant Growths and a lifegain outlet onto one card. What makes the Food type more than decoration is what it plugs into: every "sacrifice a Food," every "when a Food leaves" trigger, and every Food-count payoff draws on it without asking those decks to run a filler token. What reads as green fixing is quietly two ramp effects plus a lifegain outlet, sequenced so the card never has to spend them all at once.
