Rulings
4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2021-06-18
If the target is illegal as the spell tries to resolve, perhaps because it has been removed from the graveyard, you will not create a Food token.
- 2024-11-08
You can't sacrifice a Food to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability.
- 2024-11-08
Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
- 2024-11-08
Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
