The Shire 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

    The legendary creature must already be on the battlefield as the land enters the battlefield. If it enters the battlefield at the same time, the land will enter tapped.
