RULINGS

• 2023-06-16 Since the token is a Food artifact and not a creature, it can't attack or block unless it becomes a creature somehow.
• 2023-06-16 Do not eat the delicious cards. No, not even for second breakfast.
• 2023-06-16 If the copied creature is a token, the new token that's created copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created that token, with the exceptions noted above.
• 2023-06-16 If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
• 2023-06-16 Some spells and abilities that create Food tokens may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't create any Food tokens.
• 2023-06-16 The token copies the creature as it last existed on the battlefield before it died, not as it exists in the graveyard.
• 2023-06-16 Except for being a Food artifact, having the listed activated ability, and losing all other card types and subtypes, the token copies only what was printed on the original creature (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that had changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.
• 2023-06-16 Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures in other sets, it's never a creature type.
• 2023-06-16 If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Lembas, an artifact card with the Food subtype, to activate the last ability of Bill the Pony.
• 2023-06-16 If the copied creature is copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied, with the exceptions noted above.
• 2023-06-16 You can't sacrifice a Food token to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate the last ability of Bill the Pony.
• 2023-06-16 Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the chosen creature will also work.
