Rulings

(11/8/2024)
Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
(11/8/2024)
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.
