Rulings (3)
- Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
- 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.
- Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
