Official rulings

Five official rulings apply to Field-Tested Frying Pan, newest first.

  • Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
  • Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
  • 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.
  • If the triggered ability causes more than one creature token to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), Field-Tested Frying Pan becomes attached to one of them of your choice.
  • No player may take any actions between the time you create the Halfling token and the time Field-Tested Frying Pan becomes attached to it.
