Hey thats not bad, very flexible, can come create some quick food to support your other foodcentric cards or in a pinch create a 7/7 threat that immediately impacts the table.
I have been playing around with the food tokens, and they aren't hard to make at all. Either effect is at great cost in this deck, but this can give you a 7/7 turn 5, which isn't bad at all.
You right. He comes out silly early. When the spoilers first started coming out, I was trying to take black and blue to make food tokens and animate them into creatures for a "Food Fight" deck. Now it is seeming Blue-Green will definitely be the way to go.
A definite bomb in limited for sure.
