    Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
  • 2024-11-08 · Wizards of the Coast
    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.
  • 2024-11-08 · Wizards of the Coast
    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).

    Except for the listed exceptions, the token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature was itself copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that permanent was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
  • 2023-09-01 · Wizards of the Coast
    If something becomes a copy of the token, the copy also has base power and toughness 1/1, is a Food Golem artifact creature in addition to its other types, and has "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life."
  • 2023-09-01 · Wizards of the Coast
    If the copied creature was copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied, with the stated exceptions.
  • 2023-09-01 · Wizards of the Coast
    If the copied creature had {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • 2023-09-01 · Wizards of the Coast
    Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the creature will also work.
