Rulings

6/16/2023	You don't choose a target for Nimble Hobbit's ability at the time it triggers. Rather, a second "reflexive" ability triggers when you sacrifice a Food or pay this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.
6/16/2023	Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures in other sets, it's never a creature type.
6/16/2023	If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Lembas, an artifact card with the Food subtype, to activate the last ability of Bill the Pony.
6/16/2023	You can't sacrifice a Food token to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate the last ability of Bill the Pony.
6/16/2023	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.
6/16/2023	Do not eat the delicious cards. No, not even for second breakfast.
