Vegetation Abomination

Food Creature Design

Hi Mark, I had a question about food creatures. Would you say that food as a subtype explicitly requires the creature to have the ability:{2},{T}: you gain 3 lifeOr for example if you were to make a beefier version of gingerbrute (delver of secrets style) called "gingerhulk", could it have an ability like {3},{T}: you gain 5 life

Food creatures need to gain life when sacrificed, but it doesn’t have to be exactly 2 for 3 life. See Vegetation Abomination as an example:

Food Type Mechanics

Un-rules question. given it has the Food type - does Vegetation Abomination also have 2, T, Sacrifice this artifact: Gain 3 life?

No, we decided sacrificing for life gain was close enough to allow it to be subtype Food.
