Peregrin Took

Legendary Creature — Halfling Citizen

Peregrin Took wants a deck that makes an army of small creatures and attacks with all of them. It also suits a deck that sacrifices its own creatures to drain opponents' life.

If one or more tokens would be created under your control, those tokens plus an additional Food token are created instead. (It's an artifact with "2 generic, tap, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")

Wizards of the Coast 16 Jun 2023

Peregrin Took's first ability applies to all kinds of tokens that its controller creates, not just Food tokens.

Wizards of the Coast 16 Jun 2023

The additional Food tokens won't have any abilities the other tokens were created with. Anything else specified in the effect creating the token (such as tapped or "Exile that token at end of combat") applies to both the original tokens and the Food.

Wizards of the Coast 16 Jun 2023

You don't need to control the spell or ability that creates the tokens, but you do have to be the one creating the tokens for Peregrin Took's ability to apply.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

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

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Tough Cookie (an Artifact Creature — Food Golem) to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability (an ability with "Sacrifice a Food" in its cost).

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

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

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 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.
