Official rulings
Five official rulings apply to Thornvault Forager, 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.
- Once you announce that you're casting a spell or activating an ability, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard or Foods you control to stop you from foraging.
- If you don't have enough cards in your graveyard or a Food on the battlefield, you can't choose to forage.
