"I knew you were set in your ways, friend, but even I didn't expect you to keep our engagement, under the circumstances."
Rulings
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.
Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
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.
