Quina, Qu Gourmet card art
Quina, Qu Gourmet turns every creature death into a mana event, and in the right shell that's a full engine on a two-mana body. Pair it with Pitiless Plunderer and The Cabbage Merchant and you're generating treasure and +1/+1 counter loops that close games rather than just accumulate value.

The Cabbage Merchant

The Cabbage Merchant

61.1% of decks · synergy 0.60

The Cabbage Merchant runs Quina, Qu Gourmet in over 60% of its decks because the two cards form the spine of the same engine — creatures dying means counters accumulating and mana flowing, which means more creatures dying.

02
Thromok the Insatiable

Thromok the Insatiable

14.1% of decks · synergy 0.14

Thromok the Insatiable needs a critical mass of creatures to sacrifice at once, and Quina, Qu Gourmet converts that sacrifice into ongoing mana generation, letting you rebuild and feed Thromok again rather than stall after the first swing.

Quina, Qu Gourmet is legal across every major Constructed format but lives almost entirely in Commander, where sacrifice loops, token generation, and death triggers have the space to compound over a full game. In competitive 60-card formats the effect is too slow and too contingent on board state to earn a slot. Commander is where the payoff is real: any deck running aristocrats lines or heavy creature churn will find Quina pulling weight from turn two onward.
