Ward—Pay 2 life. (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays 2 life.)

Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)

Vigilance, ward

: Another target creature you control gains protection from the card type of your choice until end of turn. (It can't be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, enchanted, or equipped by anything of that type.)

Menace

Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, create a Food token.

Whenever you sacrifice a Food, put a +1/+1 counter on Rapacious Guest.

When Rapacious Guest leaves the battlefield, target opponent loses life equal to its power.

Affinity for artifact creatures (This spell costs less to cast for each artifact creature you control.)

Artifact creatures you control have menace.

At the beginning of your end step, create a 0/0 colorless Construct artifact creature token with "This creature gets +1/+1 for each artifact you control."
