Carte Magic Ygra, Eater of All

Ygra, Eater of All 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

Ward—Sacrifice a Food. Other creatures are Food artifacts in addition to their other types and have "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this permanent: You gain 3 life." Whenever a Food is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put two +1/+1 counters on Ygra.

How it works : Ygra, Eater of All

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).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is 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.

    No other card is 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

    Replacement effects that modify artifacts as they enter will apply after you apply Ygra's effect. For example, if you control Ygra and there is an effect that says artifacts enter tapped, creatures will enter tapped.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    Creatures that die while you control Ygra are still Food artifacts as they leave the battlefield, so Ygra's last ability will trigger whenever a creature affected by its second ability dies.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    The affected creatures retain their other types and abilities.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
