  • 2004-10-04 It changes into a creature even if the spell is countered.
  • 2004-10-04 It triggers when the spell is cast, so it becomes a creature before the spell resolves. A creature that would destroy an enchantment when it enters can't be used to destroy this card, since it will no longer be an enchantment when the creature enters.
  • 2004-10-04 When it turns into a creature, it is no longer an enchantment.
  • 2008-04-01 A "creature spell" is any spell with the type Creature, even if it has other types such as Artifact or Enchantment. Older cards of type Summon are also Creature spells.
  • 2008-08-01 A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature.
