The real appeal of The Cabbage Merchant is how easily those Food tokens can turn into a viable resource engine that'll allow you to ramp, draw cards, and lead you to all your combo lines simultaneously: Academy Manufactor turns each Food into a Food, Clue, and Treasure
That means you won't want to sacrifice multiple type cards that often like Solemn Simulacrum since your foes can sacrifice either an artifact like a Treasure or a creature like a Mulldrifter
That's not amazing, but adding our free mulligan increases those odds
The companion mechanic had to be nerfed to stay competitive in a fair way, and almost all of these saw heavy play in Constructed
