205 - Type Line
- 205.1 - The type (and subtype and supertype, if applicable) of a card is
printed directly below the illustration. (See
Rule 212, "Type, Supertype, and Subtype.") [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 205.2 - Types
- 205.2a - The types are artifact, creature, enchantment, instant, land, and
sorcery. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 205.2b - Some objects can have more than one type (for example, an artifact
creature). Such objects satisfy the criteria for any effect that applies
to any of their types. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 205.3 - Subtypes
- 205.3a - A card can have one or more subtypes printed on its type line.
[CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 205.3b - Artifact, creature and land subtypes are always single words and
are listed after a long dash. Each word after the dash is a separate
subtype. Artifact subtypes are also called artifact types. Creature
subtypes are also called creature types. Land subtypes are also called
land types. Artifacts, creatures and lands may have multiple subtypes.
[Oracle 2003/10/01]
Example: "Basic Land - Mountain" means the card is a land with the
Mountain subtype. "Creature - Goblin Wizard" means the card is a creature
with the subtypes Goblin and Wizard. "Artifact - Equipment" means the
card is an artifact with the subtype Equipment. [CompRules 2003/10/01]
- 205.3c - Enchantment subtypes consist of the word "enchant" and the word(s)
that follows it: "enchant creature," "enchant land," etc. A card with the
type "enchantment" has no subtype. An enchantment's subtype specifies
what the enchantment can be legally attached to. (See also
Rule 212.4, "Enchantments.") [CompRules 2003/12/01]
- 205.3d - Instants and sorceries don't have subtypes. [CompRules 2003/10/01]
- 205.3e - If an artifact creature card has subtypes printed on its type line,
those subtypes are creature types. If an artifact land card has subtypes
printed on its type line, those types are land types.
[CompRules 2003/10/01]
- 205.4 - Supertypes
- 205.4a - A card can also have one or more supertypes. These are printed
directly before the card's types. If an object's types or subtypes
change, any supertypes it has are kept, although they may not be relevant
to the new type. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 205.4b - Any land with the supertype "basic" is a basic land. Any land that
doesn't have this supertype is a nonbasic land.
Example: Note that cards printed in sets prior to the Eighth Edition core
set didn't use the word "basic" to indicate a basic land. Cards from
those sets with the following names are basic lands: Forest, Island,
Mountain, Plains, Swamp, Snow-Covered Forest,
Snow-Covered Island, Snow-Covered Mountain, Snow-Covered Plains,
and Snow-Covered Swamp. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 205.4c - Any permanent with the supertype "legendary" is subject to the
rules for Legends and legendary permanents. See
Rule 215, "Legends and Legendary Objects." [CompRules 2003/07/01]
