Really?? You should give it a try. Delicious and healthy, so definitely not like this shaman 😉

I think many people learnt from this set. Now you can name the game educational and encouraging positive eating habits.
Especially with the upcoming Marché Végé/Vegetable Stock.

Now to talk about the actual creature lol. I think this is a really great card. Being able to play a card from any discard pile is very strong, and I believe this is one of the only 2 cards in the game so far that can (conditionally) do that!
I am often willing to pay the price of 1 life, especially if I play this late game when there are lots of options. And even if you don't use the ability, a power 7 Frenzy Tough creature is a pretty good body to have.
And of course, playing this when you have more than 1 life and your opponent only has 1 is great!

That “Pay 1 Life” condition that recalls Dr Orange U. Tan from Evo rewards you to play aggressively to be ahead on HP. It makes Captain Cucodile and Pineapple Paladin better, since they give you more room to play it safely, and why not twice with Spinachia ?
The body is not crazy, but still relevant, there is not tha much Tough cards in the set, to survive trades and defeating effects.
Again, a very interesting and balanced card that will often influence my game plan when in my opening hand.
