Experimental Confectioner is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
01
Official card text
When this creature enters, create a Food token. (It's an artifact with ",
, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.") Whenever you sacrifice a Food, create a 1/1 black Rat creature token with "This token can't block."
How it works : Experimental Confectioner
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Tough Cookie (an Artifact Creature — Food Golem) to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability (an ability with "Sacrifice a Food" in its cost).
Card named in this ruling
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
Card named in this ruling
- #3· 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.
