The Cardsmith Dinner
Hi, cardsmiths. Today we finally got the first visual spoilers from Throne of Eldraine and with that came two new mechanics. And since we can't really do with the Adventure mechanic as we don't have the card frames availible and we really don't know how it works on top of that, today's "challange" will be about the second new mechanic. Food.
Food is an artifact subtype, that appears mostly on food tokens, but can be also found on cards like Golden Egg.
And how does it work? Well, at firs there are some examples, that we got:
So, tokens have this ability by default: {2}, {t}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.
And I want you to come up with interesting ideas to use Food on cards, before you become too influenced by the real cards that Wizards have created. Good luck!
BONUS: While writing this, I realised something. That Food is the first token type, that also appeared on a normal card! Treasures, Gold or Clues didn't get that. So, the bonus challange is to create an normal castable artifact of a type, that appeared only as a token (I'm sure that the three I named aren't the only ones).
There's no deadline, prizes or reall rules, just have fun.

Thanks! I too am incredibly hyped for this set. The flavor seems on-point, the asthetic is one of my favorites so far and Oko, Garruk, and the Royal Scions all seem like powerful planeswalkers that really make me want to open packs for this set.
Ok, but back to Food
I found you.
What are you lost about?
@Arceus8523 I saw the trailer and I get it. Your card again is very FLAVORFUL (get it?).
Edit: SWEEThearts. Riiight. Looks like today is just one big pun.
@Ranshi922 Why's that?
While we're on the topic of stuff revealed today.
2020:
-Return to Theros (Field trip to the underworld edition)
-Ikoria, the Kaiju realm
-Hey, hey. Hey, you know what players have really enjoyed this past year? TEFERI!
-An apology note for letting the Eldrazi overshadow things in BFZ block
Straight off the MTG Twitter
MTG Dropped the block format starting with Dominaria. From now on, all sets will be large sets (the typical rarity spread is 101 commons, 80 uncommons, 53 rares, 15 mythic rares) and we will spend as much or as little time on a plane as we need. Each set that takes place on the same plane will feature its own mechanics and limited environments (e.g. how Guilds of Ravnica and Ravnica Allegiance were handled).
@Flameice2 Also "Last strike" is an Unstable mechanic.
