Elanor Gardner Rulings

  • Nov 8, 2024

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

  • 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).

  • Nov 8, 2024

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

  • Nov 8, 2024

    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.

  • Jun 16, 2023

    Elanor Gardner doesn't need to have been on the battlefield when you sacrificed a Food this turn. For example, if you sacrifice a Food during your first main phase and you cast Elanor Gardner during your second main phase, its last ability will trigger at the beginning of your end step.
