MTG Salvation

I mean initially or using only abilities that the creature itself can use. For instance the Transcendent Master has the creature type "Human Cleric Avater" at it's base form. Then there is the Figure of Destiny which can become a "Kithkin Spirit Warrior Avatar".

So basically I want to know which creature has the most types in base form, and the creature which has the most types through other means (but only using abilities on it's card).

I know I may have worded it a bit weird but I did the best I could. Thx ahead of time for any help! thx!

As far as I'm aware, creatures never have more than three creature types. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Coiling Oracle. Otherwise, you've got Changelings.

Things like Mirror Entity and Chameleon Colossus are all creature types simultaneously as is an activated Mutavault.

cairn wanderer and his changeling friends. They have all creature types.

Probably Mistforum Ultimus, because not only is it every creature type, it's also Legendary!

This, we don't have a legendary changeling so this Misftorm ultimus is the one with most creature types

Legendary isn't a creature type though. It's a supertype that can refer to any permanent.

ok, minus any changelings and MU, I kinda forgot about that :-\.

Your probably not going to find something with more then 3 creature types. Excluding stuff like Changelings.

Found one with four creature types.

Piper is correct - Seton's Scout is the only creature with four creature types in Oracle.

Incidentally, Nameless Race holds the record at the other end of the spectrum.

I realize that the rules separate types and super types.
But for the most cramped type line in print, I think we have a winner.

LOL! Good call on both accounts!
But lets be honest... Nameless race was pretty much designed to be fodder. The card's a joke and has never seen play. Why else would be #14 on the all time list of worst Magic cards in history?

Noncreature artifact + March of the Machines + Neurok Transmuter = Completely typeless permanent.

Noncreature artifact + March of the Machines + Neurok Transmuter = Completely typeless permanent.

So let me get this right.

You're saying that with March of the Machines we get
Artifact + Creature = Artifact Creature

Then by use of the Transmuter's second ability we get.
Artifact Creature - Artifact = _______

Too bad the rulings state

12/1/2004: Neurok Transmuter's second ability removes the type "artifact" -- and any artifact subtypes -- from the artifact creature it targets. It doesn't remove any other types or any subtypes of other types, and it doesn't remove supertypes. If the artifact was Legendary, it's still Legendary, and the "Legendary rule" applies normally.

So Artifact Creature - Artifact = Creature


I would say we've covered the cards fairly well that have long type lines.

Hey look it's Prince Zuko!

Quote from MindStone

If you'd have read the rulings completely you'd have found this

Ah, I stand corrected I didn't read that far down.

But a typeless creature or any other card is not the point of this thread and thus this discussion really doesn't belong here.

I brought it up because Nameless Race entered the discussion. Besides, why talk only about one extreme, when you can compare it to the other?

Only took 13 years to get an actual Zuko
