Carte Magic Nutrient Block

Nutrient Block 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

Indestructible (Effects that say "destroy" don't destroy this artifact.) {2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life. When this artifact is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, draw a card.

How it works : Nutrient Block

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 token. For example, when you activate the second ability of Ragost, Deft Gastronaut (which says “{1}, {T}, Sacrifice a Food: Ragost deals 3 damage to each opponent”), you can sacrifice Nutrient Block to pay its cost.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You can’t sacrifice a Food to pay multiple costs. For example, you can’t sacrifice a Nutrient Block to activate its own last ability and also to pay the cost of Ragost, Deft Gastronaut’s second ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
