Nimble Hobbit {1}{W}

Creature — Halfling Peasant

Whenever this creature attacks, you may sacrifice a Food or pay {2}{W}. When you do, tap target creature an opponent controls.

Notes and Rules Information for Nimble Hobbit:
  • You don't choose a target for Nimble Hobbit's ability at the time it triggers. Rather, a second "reflexive" ability triggers when you sacrifice a Food or pay {2}{W} this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal. (2023-06-16)
  • 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 Maraleaf Rider's ability (an ability with "Sacrifice a Food" in its cost). (2024-11-08)
  • Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type. (2024-11-08)
  • 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)
  • Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards. (2024-11-08)
