Identical card names and subtypes

Other than the five basic lands which match their basic land types, there are a few cards where card name and subtypes match.

Creatures

This is a list of creatures whose name and creature type(s) are identical.[44]

Non-creatures

These are the non-creatures that have identical names and types.

Obsolete

These cards previously had a name and subtype(s) that were identical but have since been errata'd so they no longer match.

Card names that combine other card names

Notes

^† A card is counted as a reprint if it was previously printed in another set—either eternal or acorn. Cards printed as gold bordered commemorative sets, oversized promos, digital-only promos, Salvat printings, and/or Foreign Black-Bordered or Foreign White-Bordered sets are not counted as reprints.

To prevent over-counting:

  • A card's first printing is not counted.
  • If a card is reprinted with multiple art versions in a single set, it is only counted as a reprint once.
  • A card printed as part of The List is only counted once.
  • A skinned card is counted as a reprint of the base card.
  • Universes Beyond and Universes Within cards are considered the same card. A reprint of either version is counted as a reprint.
  • Secret Lair printings are counted once per Secret Lair drop.
    • Bonus cards included in a Secret Lair drop are not counted if the drop already includes that card.
