Eternal Scourge + Food Chain works?
Asked by TucoBZ 7 years ago
I run a Prossh, Skyraider of Kher EDH with Food Chain, but looking through new card to add to it, I saw this little guy Eternal Scourge, that seems to me that It is a infinite mana combo with Food Chain too.
Am I right? or "remove a creature from the game" isn't the same as "exile"...
Don't forget that the mana all retains the restriction that it can only be used to cast creature spells. This will make it harder to take advantage of infinite mana from this source.

"Remove a creature you control from the game" is old-speak for "Exile", and in fact the new Oracle text for Food Chain reads as follows:
Exile a creature you control: Add X mana of any one color to your mana pool, where X is the exiled creature's converted mana cost plus one. Spend this mana only to cast creature spells.
Since you Exile the Eternal Scourge to Food Chain, you would get 4 mana of any colour. You then use 3 to recast Eternal Scourge.
Note that this combo also works with Misthollow Griffin.
