Metamorphosis, a little beefed up, and permanent. Nice.

Creates infinite mana with misthollow griffin where the mana can only be spent on creatures.
But food Chain is also one of the best cards in a Maelstrom Wanderer EDH deck.
And now with the new Prossh, it's even better than in Wanderer Decks, as you need to cascade into the right things with Wanderer. With Prossh + Food Chain you already get infinite mana, so it's a 2 card combo with 1 being your general.

Actually, the reference this card makes to the food chain is incorrect. In ecology, we say that the amount of energy transferred from a lower level consumer to a higher level consumer - we call that liquid energy - is always considerably smaller than the amount of energy the lower level consumer received. This happens because part of that energy is spent to maintain the metabolism of the lower level consumer, and therefore is not absorbed upon advancing in the food chain. Thus, regarding the flavor of the card, it makes no sense that the creature should provide the player, considering the player is at the higher level (wich I think is the only conceivable option, considering the card's effect), more mana than it needed to be cast - this mana being, in this metaphor, what we defined as liquid energy.
As for the card itself
4.5/5

At first I thought Prossh and this wouldnt make an infinite combo, but I didnt take into consideration the Kobold tokens he creates.
1) So you play Prossh, make 6 dudes, sac Prossh for 7 green, a Kobold for R, and 1 for B. You have 9 mana and 4 tokens.
2) Recast Prossh for 8, leaving 1 G, make 8 tokens, 12 Kobolds on the field.
3) Keep repeating, saccing more tokens each time, but always making more tokens next cast then you previously had to sac.
So yeah, eventually you would be making a very large amount of 0/1 Kobolds. I guess haste and overrun at that point?
