Cauldron Familiar Rulings

  • Nov 8, 2024

    If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Tough Cookie (an Artifact Creature — Food Golem) to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability (an ability with "Sacrifice a Food" in its cost).

  • Oct 4, 2019

    In a Two-Headed Giant game, Cauldron Familiar's first ability causes the opposing team to lose 1 life twice, and you gain 1 life once.

  • Oct 4, 2019

    You can't activate Cauldron Familiar's last ability unless it's in your graveyard.
