Shelob, Child of Ungoliant 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

    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

    Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the chosen creature will also work.

  • Jun 16, 2023

    Except for being a Food artifact, having the listed activated ability, and losing all other card types and subtypes, the token copies only what was printed on the original creature (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that had changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.
