Creature type/History
 
History
 

Originally, in Alpha, creature types were largely used for flavor-related reasons.[1] This was continued until Fallen Empires, when creatures types had in-game mechanical implications. The first block in which creature types mattered was Tempest, particularly via the Licids and Slivers, both of which creature types shared a mechanical identity among its creature cards.

Prior to the Grand Creature Type Update, creature types were only changed when a card was reprinted.[2] This policy was straightforward when only core sets and regular expansions were considered. However it became quite complicated when digital sets on Magic Online (such as the release of the Mirage block or Masters Edition) were considered "reprints". Offbeat reprints found in Coldsnap theme decks and the timeshifted cards in Time Spiral added to the confusion.

Prelude to the Grand Creature Type Update

Mirrodin was the first set to implement the race-class model and along with it most notably the Human subtype was introduced. At that time it was an open question whether creature types on existing cards should be changed.[1][8] In the end, the decision was made in favor of having consistent creature types in the core set (Ninth Edition).

While a mass errata was ruled out in the beginning,[9] a couple of years later Aaron Forsythe actually hinted at an Oracle update.[10] Since Lorwyn block had a tribal theme, it was the perfect opportunity to realize those "sweeping changes."

Grand Creature Type Update

The Grand Creature Type Update was a mass update of creature types, as part of the regular Oracle update for Lorwyn in October 2007. With 1197 affected cards, it represented the bulk of the changes.[11] The update ranks as one of the biggest changes to the Oracle (the update for Ninth Edition has been comparable in scope, changing hundreds of local enchantments to Auras).

A major objective was bringing older creatures into conformity with the modern race-class model (e.g. Human Soldier). Many creatures were given the Human subtype, while others were assigned races like Dryad, Dauthi, Kor, or Merfolk. Creatures that lacked an obvious class were given one. Additionally, 146 creature types were removed and became obsolete, most of them being one-offs such as "Ali-from-Cairo" or "People-of-the-Woods". Un-sets types were also dropped. Eight new types were added.

A few types that were removed in the Update have since been reintroduced to the game, such as Dog, Dinosaur, Inquisitor, Noble, and Ranger.

Prior to this update, several creatures had no creature subtypes. Before Champions of Kamigawa, the legendary supertype did not exist, and legendary creatures were instead printed with the Legend creature type, and no other types (as "Summon Legend" or "Creature — Legend"). Many artifact creatures did not have subtypes, and some cards that animated did not list any creature types gained in the process. All such cards acquired types in the Update. However, for flavor reasons, Nameless Race was retained as the only creature without a creature type.

The changes were controversial, as seen on the Magic the Gathering forums. Players either disagreed with the necessity of the update or whether the individual changes were right.[12] For many years, R&D considered the Grand Creature Type Update to have been a mistake, because many cards no longer behaved as they were written.[13][14][15][16] More recently, such errata has become acceptable again, as seen in the updates adding the Phyrexian type to older cards, because turnover within the staff shifted the majority opinion.[17]
