Late to Dinner

{3}{W} · Sorcery

Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. Create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")

Rulings (4)

Jun 18, 2021 · If the target is illegal as the spell tries to resolve, perhaps because it has been removed from the graveyard, you will not create a Food token.

Nov 8, 2024 · 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.

Nov 8, 2024 · Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.

Nov 8, 2024 · Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
