Nutrient Block

Most Food is inert until you spend it: a stored increment of life you cash in when the math gets tight. This one inverts that patience by paying out the moment it dies. The indestructible clause looks like protection, but its real work is to decide which exits are available at all. Because "destroy" cannot touch it, destroy-based board wipes and targeted removal simply leave it sitting on the table, so the piece usually leaves play by going to the graveyard: through its own life-gain sacrifice, or through any external sacrifice outlet you feed it to. Every route that runs it through the yard fires the draw, and that is the route the card was built to reward. Note the two ways it can slip past the payout entirely: bounce and exile skip the graveyard, so an opponent who wants to answer it without handing you a card has to reach for those instead of destruction, which is a real ask. The life gain reads as the point and functions as the delivery mechanism; the card you draw is the payload. Cash it in for three life and it replaces itself on the way out, but the more pointed use is as clean fuel for a sacrifice engine, where the life is incidental and the cantrip is the reason it went in. Any recursion that returns artifacts or Food from the yard rebuys the whole cycle. Three lines, each doing a distinct job, arranged so the moment of loss is the moment of profit.
