Reason #6,629: The thief of crowns

Meet Oko. On Magic’s digital platform, MTG Arena, whenever Oko creates a food token, he says, “It’s not poisoned. Trust me.” Hold on, Oko. Who said anything about poison? I didn’t say anything about poison. Why are we talking about poison, Oko? Should I be concerned? SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?

Reason #6,321: Don’t tread on me. Please?
