Talk:Permanent

A permanent need not necessarily be one of the above types. There are circumstances, such as using Neurok Transmuter's ability to remove the artifact type from an artifact being animated by March of the Machines, in which a permanent can be completely typeless.

I believe this information is incorrect. If you animate a creature with march of the machines, it becomes an artifact creature. If you then use Neurok Transmuter's ability it loses the artifact type, but remains a creature. It is not typeless.

Although I shouldn't answer this because I don't play the game (and, so, probably shouldn't bother with anything to do with the game, such as rules), I'm afraid that you are incorrect in your belief. As the Transmuter's ability renders the target not-an-artifact, March of the Machines no longer has an effect on that target. Subsequently, what you have is not a creature and a card with a type but a typeless blue permanent. --MM (talk) 09:01, 30 August 2012 (EDT)
