No Misthollow griffen?

Nah. Food chain is one of 3 primary combos and is significantly worse than Eternal Scourge. In my dedicated FC deck I include it, but to limit dead cards I dont use griffin in this build. With all the creature tutors in the deck getting scourge is never the issue.

how is it significantly worse?

4 mana and color intensive for starters. Which means I cannot win the game on turn 3 with just a one drop dork in play. I also cannot reliably use mana vault to win on turn 3 either. Also drift of phantasms can tutor for both halves of eternal scourge+food chain and buried alive+death and I can eldritch evolution into eternal scourge on turn 2 to play turn 3 food chain ftw. None of these things are possible with griffin and the card is dead weight outside the combo

So I actually built a Food Chain deck finally. I ended up going 5c with Tazri. It is fast and gross. I love it.

Yeah Tazri is the gold standard for sure

so if you reaniamted nooze with dread return instead of labman couldn't the hermit druid combo cost instead of ?

sorry for the double post but I realized that didn't work withthe current nooze combo, lol

Indeed. Just did my first tourny with it. Turn 4 the first match through a counterspell. I finished the winners pod before the other team started. Opened with land, crypt, ring, vault chain and scourge. My opponents were not happy to say the least.
