The Fourth Doctor 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.
- Oct 13, 2023 Essentially, The Fourth Doctor lets you play with the top card of your library revealed only to you. Knowing what that card is becomes part of the information you have access to, just like you can look at the cards in your hand. You may look at the top card of your library whenever you want, even if you don't have priority. This action doesn't use the stack.
- Oct 13, 2023 If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.
