Carte Magic Spider Food

Spider Food 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

Destroy up to one target artifact, enchantment, or creature with flying. Create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")

How it works : Spider Food

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

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

  2. #2· 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.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    You can cast Spider Food without a target just to create a Food token. However, if you do choose a target, and that target is illegal at the time Spider Food tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't create a Food token.
