Shelob's Ambush 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
Some spells and abilities that create Food tokens may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't create any Food tokens.
- 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.
