Food Chain is the main part of a infinite Mana and ETB/LTB combo. Only Legal in the Commander, Vintage and Legacy formats. Great with Commander Creatures that have ETB effects.
Creatures Cast From Exile
Exile any of the above Creatures with Food Chain and you can gain Mana equal to their Mana Value +1, and then just re-cast them for their Mana Value, netting 1 Mana each time. Each time you re-cast them from Exile you can Trigger any ETB effects you control, or any time you Exile them, you can trigger LTB effects. Each of the above creatures has has different benefits;
Squee, the Immortal's best feature is that it can be played from the graveyard as well as from exile, making it impossible to remove.
Eternal Scourge has the benefit of being Colorless, which means it can be used in any deck that can run Food Chain. It does have the downside of being easily removed when it is targeted, but since it goes to Exile when targeted, you can easily cast it again.
Misthollow Griffin is the easiest to remove out of the 3 options but it is still a 3/3 Flying Creature, so even if you are struggling to find Food Chain you still have a decent Creature to attack with.
