Rulings

  • 2023-06-16

    Halflings attacking a planeswalker or battle won't cause Meriadoc Brandybuck's ability to trigger.

  • 2023-06-16

    Meriadoc Brandybuck's ability has you create just one Food token per player you attack with a Halfling, no matter how many Halflings you attack them with beyond the first.

  • 2024-11-08

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

  • 2024-11-08

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

  • 2024-11-08

    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.
