Second Breakfast

Instant2 generic manaWhite mana

The +2/+1 split across up to two creatures is the meat of this trick: an instant-speed pump that can save a blocker while pushing a second attacker, or ambush two would-be blockers in one flash. The asymmetric buff (more power than toughness) points it squarely at aggression rather than defense, letting a wide board convert a stalled turn into lethal math. The Food token riding along is what keeps this from being a plain double-pump: a bit of graveyard-agnostic value that softens the tempo hit of spending a card on a temporary effect. That token rarely does work on the turn you cast the spell, but in a deck already caring about artifacts sacrificed for life, it turns a one-shot trick into a small piece of a longer engine. The name is the joke and the joke is the design: a second helping, a card that gives you the combat play now and a bite to eat afterward. It is built for a go-wide white deck that wants its tricks to leave a residue rather than evaporate, the kind of low-rarity glue that rewards attacking into open mana without demanding you build around it.
