Type line
The type line of a Magic card is printed directly below the illustration. It contains the card’s card type(s). It also contains the card’s subtype(s) and supertype(s), if applicable. The type line has a set height and width. Because of this, sometimes there is no room for additional creature types, although they would have been expected based on flavor.[1] This most often happens with legendary creatures.
