I am interested in making a greta food sacrifice deck and was wondering if this was a good deck to start with? https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5831324#paper

I know its coming to a year old and was wondering if any newer cards would suit the deck more?

If the carrot is going to stay then you can sacrifice to Gretta or any food sac since it is a good

Nuka-Cola Vending Machine is a good add if you have it laying around. Transmutation Font is another good one, and that one is only a couple of bucks.

Do you already have doubling season? Since you mentioned it's a budget build.
Most of the cards in the deck sound great.
Thoughts on [[prize pig]] its an easy way to sac all your food tokens.

Whenever you gain life, put that many ribbon counters on Prize Pig. Then if there are three or more ribbon counters on Prize Pig, remove those counters and untap it.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into prized pig, and the marionettes, gonna pick up hardened scales and branching evolution for another deck so might swap them into this deck now and again
This is not my deck TBH but I do have quite a few of the cards laying around, I was looking at it as a skeleton to build around

I have a Jaheira + Agent of the Iron Throne food deck, and unless your decks happens to play too differently than mine (I would not expect so, we are playing probably 85 of the same cards xD) and I'd say most of the Food artifacts are sadly just crap.
- Candy Trail is probably the most borderline playable because Scry 2 for one is decent, and you sac for both clue and food effects for a single cost.
- Lembas is kinda playable (really good in Pauper, but shuffling one card in EDH is more meh), but you might ditch it sooner rather than later.
- Tempting Apple would only be good if you can recur it, imo. else it's an overcosted Act of Treason, and the extra activated is meh.
- Three Bowls and Golden Egg are just bad
Someone already suggested Nuka-Cola Vending Machine, that comboes with Peregrin Took. You seem to be a chill person, not wanting to combo off like a madman, but I will just mention that a triggered Defense of the Heart with just 1 food already in play is enough to combo off Peregrin Took + Experimental Confectioner!
I'd probably cut two lands and something, to add Farseek, Nature's Lore and Three Visit.
Also card draw that makes to sacrifice artifacts is great here.. Eviscerator's Insight, Deadly Dispute, Fanatical Offering.
and it might be a little light on answers for my taste, but that might be a power level concern... in any case.. Tear Asunder is a must in these colors imo! But you might also want to consider Bitter Triumph, Putrefy and Assassin's Trophy
