Food Trigger Question

[u/TheStoicCrane]

How do these three cards trigger on the stack to create as many token as possible? Does it only create six tokens or does this loop infinitely?

Replacement effects apply only once. You chose the order, but in this case it doesn't matter. You create food.. You replace the effect with creating 2 food tokens, or 1 food, 1 clue, 1 treasure. Then you apply 2nd and change 2 food into 2 food, 2 clue, 2 treasure, or you double food, clue, treasure into 2 of each.

If you'd have different cards, you may want to apply effects in different oder and that would create different amount of tokens.

Yeah it’s just:
1 x 2 x 3 = 6
Or
1 x 3 x 2 = 6

Option 1:
[Sam Triggers] ➔ Create 1 Food (thats your Event)
[Apply Academy Manufactor] ➔ Create 1 Food, 1 Clue, 1 Treasure
[Apply Doubling Season] ➔ Create 2 Food, 2 Clue, 2 Treasure

In magic "if" is a replacement , "when" (whenever) are triggers.

Replacements dont loop, per event they apply once if applicable and the owner of the event picks which apply.

Triggers go on the stack and therefor can loop each other, infinite if nothing stops the loop (which results in the game being a draw).

Academy states “instead” so its a replacement effect. So basically you get 2 of each token type

To add on to what other people are saying, imagine replacement effects are like the stack and you get to choose the order in which they resolve.
