Carte Magic Taste of Death

Taste of Death 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

Each player sacrifices three creatures of their choice. You create three Food tokens. (They're artifacts with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")

How it works : Taste of Death

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.

    Card 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 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

    As Taste of Death resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses three creatures they control, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If a player controls three or fewer creatures, that player sacrifices each creature they control.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    You create three Food tokens, no matter how many creatures were actually sacrificed, even if some or all players sacrificed no creatures.
