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
Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards. - 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. - 2023-10-13 · Wizards of the Coast
Unlike other creature types in Magic that are each only one word, the two words "Time Lord" represent a single creature subtype. Time Lord is the only two-word creature type. - 2023-10-13 · Wizards of the Coast
If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord. - 2023-10-13 · Wizards of the Coast
Neither "Time" nor "Lord" are creature types. Some older cards were printed with the subtype "Lord," but all of those cards have updated Oracle card text that removed that type.
