K.9 - Creature


Return to Rules Index

K.9.1- A creature card is a card of type "Creature" or "Artifact Creature". [CompRules 1999/04/23] Note that older cards used the word "Summon" instead of "Creature" to indicate a creature card. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]

K.9.2- When a creature spell resolves, it is put into play as the last part of its resolution. [CompRules 1999/04/23]

Top

K.9.3- A creature card is a creature card no matter what zone it is in. A creature card is a "creature" only while in play. It is a creature spell while on the stack. [CompRules 1999/04/23]

K.9.Ruling.1- A creature in play may be a creature card or token, or it may be a land, artifact, or enchantment which has been changed to a creature permanent type (see Rule K.5). [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]

K.9.Ruling.2- When a creature card leaves play, any continuous effects it had end immediately, but any duration effects it had last. For example, when Goblin King leaves play, Goblins no longer get its benefit. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
