Gameplay

Legendary Creature — Horse

When Bill the Pony enters, create two Food tokens. (They're artifacts with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.") Sacrifice a Food: Until end of turn, target creature you control assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power.

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.

2024-11-08wotc

If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Tough Cookie (an Artifact Creature — Food Golem) to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability (an ability with "Sacrifice a Food" in its cost).

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