Carte Magic Peregrin Took

Peregrin Took 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

If one or more tokens would be created under your control, those tokens plus an additional Food token are created instead. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.") Sacrifice three Foods: Draw a card.

How it works : Peregrin Took

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.

    Card named in this ruling

  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.

    Card named in this ruling

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    The additional Food tokens won't have any abilities the other tokens were created with. Anything else specified in the effect creating the token (such as tapped or "Exile that token at end of combat") applies to both the original tokens and the Food.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    You don't need to control the spell or ability that creates the tokens, but you do have to be the one creating the tokens for Peregrin Took's ability to apply.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    Peregrin Took's first ability applies to all kinds of tokens that its controller creates, not just Food tokens.
