Cat Collector · Compendium

When this creature enters, create a Food token. (It's an artifact with ", , Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.") Whenever you gain life for the first time during each of your turns, create a 1/1 white Cat creature token.

Mox strategy

Cat Collector is a solid value creature for lifegain and token decks. Its immediate Food token gives you a life-gain trigger and some early board utility, while the Cat token reward can snowball quickly if you gain life on each turn. Best in decks that can trigger lifegain on opponents’ turns or repeatedly on your own, such as Food shells, lifegain, blink, and token strategies. Strong synergies include sacrifice outlets for the Food, blink effects to make more Food, and cards that gain life at instant speed so you can make a Cat each turn cycle. It supports board presence, incremental value, and life-total stability. Good practical use: play it early and build around reliable repeatable life gain to maximize Cat production.
