Rulings
- : Unlike other creature types in Magic that are each only one word, the two words "Time Lord" represent a single creature subtype. Time Lord is the only two-word creature type.
- : If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.
- : Neither "Time" nor "Lord" are creature types. Some older cards were printed with the subtype "Lord," but all of those cards have updated Oracle card text that removed that type.
- : 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.
