Time to Feed rulings

2013-09-15
Time to Feed has two targets: a creature an opponent controls and a creature you control. If only one of those creatures is a legal target when Time to Feed tries to resolve, the creatures won't fight and neither will deal or be dealt damage. If the creature you don't control is the illegal target, you won't gain life when it dies.
2013-09-15
If neither creature is a legal target when Time to Feed tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve and none of its effects will happen.
2013-09-15
If the first target creature dies that turn, you'll gain 3 life no matter what caused the creature to die or who controls the creature at that time.

Time to Feed keyword rules

Fight Rule 701.12

A spell or ability may instruct a creature to fight another creature or it may instruct two creatures to fight each other. Each of those creatures deals damage equal to its power to the other creature.

If one or both creatures instructed to fight are no longer on the battlefield or are no longer creatures, neither of them fights or deals damage. If one or both creatures are illegal targets for a resolving spell or ability that instructs them to fight, neither of them fights or deals damage.

If a creature fights itself, it deals damage to itself equal to twice its power.

The damage dealt when a creature fights isn’t combat damage.
