Greta, Sweettooth Scourge card art
Greta, Sweettooth Scourge arrives as a 3/3 for three mana and immediately starts converting Food tokens into card draw or life gain — a two-mode activated ability that scales as long as you keep feeding her. The cost is real: you need a steady Food supply to make either mode matter, which is why she slots cleanly alongside Night of the Sweets' Revenge and thrives under Gyome, Master Chef rather than in decks that generate Food incidentally.

Gyome, Master Chef

Gyome, Master Chef

61.2% of decks · synergy 0.56

Gyome, Master Chef generates a Food token for every nontoken creature you play, which means Greta, Sweettooth Scourge has a guaranteed supply to cash in for card draw every single turn cycle — the two are nearly inseparable, reflected in Greta appearing in over 61% of Gyome lists.

02
Ygra, Eater of All

Ygra, Eater of All

54.2% of decks · synergy 0.49

Ygra, Eater of All turns every Food sacrifice into a creature death trigger, so Greta, Sweettooth Scourge's activated ability feeds both card advantage and Ygra's life-gain-as-mana engine simultaneously, doubling the payoff on each activation.

03
Merry, Warden of IsengardPippin, Warden of Isengard

Merry, Warden of Isengard // Pippin, Warden of Isengard

31.7% of decks · synergy 0.30

The Hobbit-themed Food synergies built around Merry, Warden of Isengard // Pippin, Warden of Isengard make Greta, Sweettooth Scourge a natural inclusion — she converts the Food glut those decks accumulate into meaningful card draw without asking for anything outside the existing game plan.

04
Camellia, the Seedmiser

Camellia, the Seedmiser

26.6% of decks · synergy 0.22

Camellia, the Seedmiser rewards playing Halflings and generating tokens, and Greta, Sweettooth Scourge fits the tribal package while providing an outlet that turns excess Food into card advantage once the board is established.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal

pioneer legal
standard legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Greta, Sweettooth Scourge is legal across every major constructed format but sees play almost exclusively in Commander, where the combination of multiplayer game length and dedicated Food-token commanders gives her activated abilities time to accumulate real value. In Standard, Pioneer, and Modern, three mana for a 3/3 with conditional activated abilities is too slow and too dependent on a specific artifact subtype to compete with faster, more self-contained threats. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in her at any price. Commander is where she lives, specifically in the Food-token archetype — outside that lane, she's a 3/3 with upside that never triggers.

Price Context

Current price

$0.33 bulk tier

At $0.33, Greta, Sweettooth Scourge is bulk, and that price reflects her narrow demand rather than her power level inside the right deck. She's unlikely to spike unless Food strategies receive a major new support card, so pick her up now if you're building Gyome or Ygra — there's no reason to wait.
