Official rulings

Four official rulings apply to Vault 101: Birthday Party, newest first.

  • Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
  • 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.
  • Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
  • An Aura put onto the battlefield this way doesn't target anything (so it could be attached to an opponent's permanent with hexproof, for example), but the Aura's enchant ability restricts what it can be attached to. If the Aura can't legally be attached to anything, you can't choose to put it onto the battlefield at all.
