Gemrazer

Food Subtype and Sacrifice Ability

Fun rules time! I have a Gemrazer mutated on top of a Gingerbrute. In response to an exile spell, I use Gingerbrute’s ability of “2, T, sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.” My friend argues that it no longer has this ability since it is not a Food. They say that the ability is granted by the subtype “Food”, like how the subtype “Forest” adds the ability “T: Add G.” If Blood Moon removes “Forest”, it removes “T: add G.” Are they right about Food, or can Gemgerbruterazer still sac itself?

The Food subtype doesn’t inherently have the sacrifice for life gain ability. We just lined up every Food to be able to do that. So yes, you can still sacrifice the Gingerbrute for life.
