Overview

With Ygra on the battlefield, your creatures become Food artifacts in addition to their other types (they keep their other types and abilities) and any effect that refers to a Food means any Food artifact, including creature-Foods . Sacrificing a Food (whether a Food token or a creature that’s a Food because of Ygra) will: (A) cause Experimental Confectioner’s triggered ability “Whenever you sacrifice a Food, create a 1/1 black Rat…” to trigger once for each Food sacrificed; and (B) cause Ygra’s triggered ability “Whenever a Food is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put two +1/+1 counters on Ygra” to trigger once for each such Food put into a graveyard. Savvy Hunter’s activated ability that has “Sacrifice two Foods: Draw a card” requires you to sacrifice the Foods as a cost; those sacrifices are the events that cause the two kinds of triggered abilities to trigger . Also note that Ygra’s continuous effect that makes creatures into Foods is a type-changing continuous effect applied by layer rules (type changes and addition of artifact type) .

Step 1

Ygra’s static effect makes other creatures into Food artifacts in addition to their other types (they keep their other types and abilities) and that change is applied as a continuous (type-changing) effect under layer rules .

Step 2

When Savvy Hunter’s activated ability is announced, you pay costs first. If you pay its cost by sacrificing two Foods (these can be Food tokens or creature-Foods created/converted by Ygra), those permanents are put into their owners’ graveyards as part of paying the cost. Because 'Food' refers to Food artifacts generally, creature-Foods qualify .

Step 3

The act of putting Foods into the graveyard from the battlefield (the sacrifices paid as a cost) is the event that triggers both Experimental Confectioner’s triggered ability (it triggers 'Whenever you sacrifice a Food') and Ygra’s triggered ability ('Whenever a Food is put into a graveyard from the battlefield') for each Food involved .

Step 4

Each Food sacrificed produces one Experimental Confectioner trigger (each will create a 1/1 black Rat token) and one Ygra trigger (each will put two +1/+1 counters on Ygra). All of those triggers are created after the sacrifice event and go on the stack as triggered abilities. (They will resolve later to create the rats and put counters on Ygra.)

Step 5

After paying costs (and creating the triggered abilities), Savvy Hunter’s activated ability goes on the stack. When that ability resolves you draw a card.

Step 6

When the triggered abilities resolve, they do their effects: each Confectioner trigger creates a Rat token; each Ygra trigger places two +1/+1 counters on Ygra.

Resolution

If you sacrifice Foods while you control Experimental Confectioner, Savvy Hunter, and Ygra, each Food sacrificed will: (1) trigger Experimental Confectioner’s “Whenever you sacrifice a Food…” trigger once, creating a 1/1 black Rat token per Food sacrificed; and (2) trigger Ygra’s “Whenever a Food is put into a graveyard from the battlefield…” trigger once, putting two +1/+1 counters on Ygra per Food put into a graveyard. Creatures are Foods because of Ygra’s continuous effect (they remain creatures and keep their abilities) , and an effect referring to a Food covers any Food artifact, including those creature-Foods . Sacrifices made to pay Savvy Hunter’s activated-cost (“Sacrifice two Foods: Draw a card”) are paid as costs; the Food(s) are put into the graveyard as part of paying that cost and those zone changes are what cause the above triggers to trigger . The type-changing continuous effect that makes creatures into Foods is applied by the layering rules (see layer guidance) .
