Bartered Cow

Creature — Ox

When this creature dies and when you discard this card, create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "2 generic, tap, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")

At the market, no one heeded Hilda's frantic mooing. The fae curse was turning out even worse than she had feared.

Rulings (4)
  • Bartered Cow's ability is a triggered ability, not an activated ability. It doesn't allow you to discard it or sacrifice it whenever you want; rather, you need some other way of discarding it or causing it to die.
  • Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
  • Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
  • 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.
