Pizza Face, Gastromancer

Pizza Face is a 5-mana BG legendary artifact creature that generates a Food on ETB, then at each end step distributes three +1/+1 counters to an artifact or creature if any permanent left the battlefield under your control that turn (animating noncreature artifacts as 0/0 Mutants). Its primary home is sacrifice/aristocrats shells where permanents frequently leave play, as well as food-matters and artifact-animation strategies. The 15-life activated ability is a novelty sink requiring {10}+sacrifice, making it essentially irrelevant competitively.

• The 'Disappear' trigger animates noncreature artifacts (like other Food tokens) into 0/0 Mutant creatures by adding counters — this can accidentally kill your own artifacts if you forget they become 0/0 before the counters resolve, though all three counters are placed simultaneously making them 3/3s.

• Pizza Face's end-step trigger fires once per turn regardless of how many permanents left the battlefield, so it rewards consistent attrition (one sacrifice per turn) rather than burst sacrifice engines.

• The {10},{T},Sacrifice for 15 life is essentially a desperation button — at 5 CMC uncommon rarity, running this purely for lifegain is a trap; its real value is the Food ETB and the Disappear counter engine.
