Spider-Ham, Peter Porker
The joke in the type line is the design. A tribal anthem lord is the oldest template in the game, but it usually names one creature type and lives inside a curated set of that tribe. This one lifts +1/+1 onto eighteen types at once, and the choice of eighteen is not random: it is the working list of "cute animal" creature types Wizards has printed enough of to matter, gathered under a single ridiculous keyword. Functionally, it turns any deck built from the game's menagerie of Squirrels, Rabbits, Cats, Dogs, Frogs, and the rest into a critical-mass go-wide board, without asking those creatures to share a real tribal identity. The Food token on entry points this toward a green-white sacrifice-and-tokens shell as much as a beatdown one: a stapled-on artifact that feeds anything caring about Food, sacrifice fodder, or lifegain triggers, arriving the moment the anthem does. At two mana, the 2/2 body is a throwaway; what earns the slot is the width of the buff, broader than any single-tribe lord could ever justify and narrow enough that you still have to assemble a board of the right small creatures for it to do anything. A dumb premise executed as a genuinely elegant catch-all anthem.
