Legendary Creature — Halfling Peasant
When this creature enters, create X 1/1 white Halfling creature tokens and X Food tokens. (They're artifacts with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")
“Scalable X-cost token generator with built-in lifegain and sacrifice fuel.”
Farmer Cotton is a scalable token generator that rewards you for casting spells with variable mana costs. The core idea is to ramp your mana early, then drop Cotton with a big X value to flood the board with bodies and resources in one go. You're essentially playing a midrange token deck that can swing from "quiet setup" to "suddenly you have 8 creatures" in a single turn. The Food tokens provide both sacrifice outlets and a safety valve with incidental lifegain, which keeps you stable while you build.
Your game plan revolves around two paths: either turn your tokens sideways for combat damage once you've assembled enough, or lean into aristocrats synergies with sacrifice outlets and payoffs. Cards that double token creation (Doubling Season, Parallel Lives) turn Cotton into an explosive finisher, while creatures like Viscera Seer or Blood Artist turn your tokens into direct damage and card advantage. You don't need to be complicated—just ramp into Cotton, make tokens, win by combat or by grinding value through sacrifice triggers.

Skip Doubling Season (pricey) and use Doubling Cube or Parallel Lives instead; fill slots with functional ramp like Cultivate and Kodama's Reach rather than Rhystic Study.
