A classic Food Chain Prossh list. My list was originally inspired by the list's of both angelforge and captainriku75. It's a pure speed deck that aims to win as fast as possible, which, in this case can be as early as turn one with a hand like this: Mana Crypt + Food Chain + Squee, the Immortal (or any creature to fetch him Imperial Recruiter / Goblin Matron ) + Wall of Roots + Any land that makes + Any free mana ( Lotus Petal / Elvish Spirit Guide / Simian Spirit Guide / Mana Vault / Sol Ring / Chrome Mox ) + Any win con

Some of my personal card choices:

Gamble over Grim Tutor : This was primarily a budget consideration originally, but I've actually grown to love gamble. It gives us a turn one play to fetch Food Chain or a later game play to get Squee, the Immortal . A calculated risk for sure, but it's very efficient.

Allosaurus Shepherd is in over Dosan the Falling Leaf or City of Solitude : Both Dosan and City are good, but often help our opponents if played too early. Shephard is a slam dunk as all our win conditions are green basically.

Not playing Riftsweeper : I played with Riftsweeper a bunch and it is almost always a dead card. Realistically whenever food chain got exiled I never had time to cast Riftsweeper to get it back then tutor for food chain again and cast it again to try and win. By that time I've already lost or people have so much counter magic It is impossible to resolve. The worst part is that Riftsweeper can't even return a card exiled with Praetor's Grasp which is one of the more common ways Food Chain gets exiled. So I've fully embraced the speed plan. If food chain gets exiled we resort to Prossh beats or Purphoros triggers to win.

It's been awhile since I looked at this list and updated it. Between this update and the last one Allosaurus Shepherd and Destiny Spinner were added (although admittedly I don't remember the cuts). Otherwise I've made the following changes:

Force of Vigor over Nature's Claim: Yes it's worse off Dark Confidant and Ad Nauseam but it's free and free is infinitely more valuable than costing mana.

Ignoble Hierarch over Sensei's Divining Top: What can I say, gotta go fast. Top is fine, but it's kind of slow. There's some consideration to just upgrade Elvish Mystic instead if you find that mana isn't your bottleneck.
