Rulings

datetext
2023-06-16Any 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 chosen creature will also work.
2023-06-16Except for being a Food artifact, having the listed activated ability, and losing all other card types and subtypes, the token copies only what was printed on the original creature (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that had changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.
2023-06-16If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
2023-06-16If the copied creature is a token, the new token that's created copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created that token, with the exceptions noted above.
2023-06-16If the copied creature is copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied, with the exceptions noted above.
2023-06-16Since the token is a Food artifact and not a creature, it can't attack or block unless it becomes a creature somehow.
2023-06-16The token copies the creature as it last existed on the battlefield before it died, not as it exists in the graveyard.
2024-11-08Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
2024-11-08Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
2024-11-08You 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.
