Gameplay

Sorcery

Destroy all creatures with power 3 or greater. Then create a Food token for each creature you control. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")

The Tooks marched in with Pippin at their head. Merry now had enough sturdy Hobbitry to deal with the ruffians.

Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.

2024-11-08wotc

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.
