Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-03-08

    Nuka-Cola Vending Machine's last ability triggers whenever you sacrifice a Food for any reason, not just to activate a Food's activated ability.

  • 2024-03-08

    If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, if you sacrifice a nontoken Food artifact, such as Candy Trail from the Wilds of Eldraine set, Nuka-Cola Vending Machine's last ability will trigger.

  • 2024-11-08

    Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.

    Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.

  • 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.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Nuka-Cola Vending Machine

5 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Nuka-Cola Vending Machine. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
