When Iroh enters, create a Food token.

At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may have target opponent gain control of target permanent you control. When you do, create a 1/1 white Ally creature token. Put a +1/+1 counter on that token for each permanent you own that your opponents control.

Official rulings

  1. If an opponent leaves the game, all permanents you gave to them will return to your control. (2025-10-02)
  2. 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 Bosco, Just a Bear's ability (an ability with "Sacrifice a Food" in its cost). 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 Bosco, Just a Bear's ability. (2025-10-02)
  3. If either the opponent or the permanent you control becomes an illegal target by the time Iroh's second ability resolves, the ability does nothing and you cannot choose to have the opponent gain control of the permanent. (2025-10-02)
  4. Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards. (2025-10-02)
  5. You will choose targets for Iroh's second ability at the beginning of every combat, even if you aren't feeling generous. The decision to have the opponent gain control of the permanent isn't made until the ability resolves. (2025-10-02)
  6. Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type. (2025-10-02)
  7. Some spells and abilities that create Food tokens may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't create any Food tokens. (2025-10-02)
  8. If you leave the game, all permanents you own leave the game with you. (2025-10-02)
