Official rulings

  1. 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. (2023-10-13)
  2. If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord. (2023-10-13)
  3. 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. (2023-10-13)
  4. Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type. (2024-11-08)
  5. Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards. (2024-11-08)
  6. 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. (2024-11-08)
