Greta, Sweettooth Scourge 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 Greta enters, create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.") {G}, Sacrifice a Food: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. Activate only as a sorcery. {1}{B}, Sacrifice a Food: You draw a card and you lose 1 life.

How it works : Greta, Sweettooth Scourge

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #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).

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.

  3. #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.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
