Lita, Little Orphan Amphibian — ruling 4

Whatever you do, don't eat the cards. (Also, don't make the pizzas pictured on the cards. You don't have the digestive system of a Ninja Turtle.)

Lita, Little Orphan Amphibian — ruling 5

If you can't legally choose a mode because all three have been chosen that turn, that instance of the ability is removed from the stack with no effect.

Lita, Little Orphan Amphibian — ruling 6

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

Lita, Little Orphan Amphibian — ruling 7

Some spells and abilities that create Food tokens may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't create any Food tokens.

Lita, Little Orphan Amphibian — ruling 8

If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Pizza Face (a Legendary Artifact Creature — Food Mutant) to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability (an ability with "Sacrifice a Food" in its cost). 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.
