Vinereap Mentor

Creature — Squirrel DruidBlack manaGreen mana

Two Food tokens off a single body, split across the two moments a creature is most reliably present: when it lands, and when it leaves. That doubled trigger is the point. A 3/2 for two colors is already a fair aggressive rate, and because value is generated at entry and at death, removal aimed at it still leaves a token behind rather than cleanly answering it. For a sacrifice deck, the Mentor becomes fuel that pays twice: recur it, blink it, or feed it to an outlet, and each cycle nets another artifact to sacrifice for its own triggers or for the life the Food itself offers. The body serves as both payoff and resource, which is why the two-drop slot suits it: cheap enough to loop, aggressive enough to matter in combat. The Squirrel-Druid lineage marks it as a Food-matters engine piece rather than a standalone threat, a card that reads modestly but assembles into something once other Food and sacrifice payoffs sit beside it. The limiting factor is that the tokens do nothing on their own beyond a slow life-gain option; the Mentor manufactures resources, it does not close games. Its power scales entirely with the density of outlets and payoffs around it, and stalls without them.
