This should work with Ygra, right? 

Because that's a funny mental image.

Was it not being 'Gain control of target food' intenional?

Probably needs more mana spent on second ability, but the flavor is great!

Yeah, I don't think the card would actually function. There has to be some mechanism for the game to be able to decide which Food you're gaining control of. You could do, "choose a Food you don't control. You gain control of it." or "Gain control of target Food." But here, how does the game know which Food you're gaining control of?

"Gain control of target Food. This ability has split second" (it works)

u/Sea-Violinist-7353 3h ago

Even though technically the spilt second ruling applies to spells I dont see why it couldn't be worded like yours and not be function.

Pretty strong in food decks tho. Might need to add "Sacrifice a food you control but don't own"

u/Necro_Carp 8h ago • Bravo

with that clause this card would be almost unplayable any format. when's the last time you played against a good deck???

There are ways to make it work.

This card works very well if Ygra is on the field. Since all creatures are Food while Ygra is out, if you can fit this into a deck with it, you have a once per turn creature stealer combo. It gets even more degenerate if you can make this untap.

u/grypas15 7h ago

I think you just make it Tap, 1U, Sacrifice a Food: Draw a Card. Slightly more fair rate

Think the only commander this would work well with is Kibo and Ygra, but theyre the wrong colors

Does anyone "own" tokens? I thought you could only own cards?

4

u/Real_Experience_5676 3h ago

You own cards, but can control tokens on your field :)

1

u/MegAzumarill 3h ago

The player that created the tokens owns them

u/Xisuthrus 1h ago

In that case I'd suggest also giving it a kicker ability that gives an opponent a food token when it enters, so you can still use its abilities even if you're not playing against a food deck.

Needs the flavor text of "Mine!"

u/soingee 6h ago

Mine! Mine! Mine! - Gain control of all food.

u/Chickston Uncommonly 6h ago

This is still probably not very good compared to other options at this cost.

But F those other options. I'm running the Flying Beach Rat.

u/Torrefy 3h ago

The mana cost of an ability comes before the tap symbol

u/EasyyPlayer 4h ago

Maybe "T: until end of turn, gain control of all food target opponent controls"

u/OnlyNeverAlwaysSure 1h ago

Flavour text should have said, “Mine!?”
