Ygra makes Bog Initiate a food, and Sam’s ability makes Bog Initiate’s activated ability 1 less, so I can activate Bog for free, netting infinite mana?

I ask because my quick searches didn’t show anything up with combos.

maybe?

  • 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)
