Template:Navigation CR A card type is a characteristic that each Magic: the Gathering card has. It appears in the type line. Non-traditional Magic cards and tokens also have card types. Each card type has its own rules for how objects with that type are played, cast, or otherwise handled during gameplay.

The following are card types:
- artifact
- creature

Some objects may have more than one card type (e.g., artifact creature, tribal enchantment). Additionally, cards may have supertypes or subtypes. Starting with Magic 2015 emblems have a type line, which includes the Planeswalker subtype. [1] Spells and abilities can assign or remove card types.

Type icons
Future Sight sported specific type icons for different card types. If the card had a single card type, this icon indicateed what it is: claw marks for creature, a flame for sorcery, a lightning bolt for instant, a sunrise for enchantment, a chalice for artifact, and a pair of mountain peaks for land. If the card had multiple card types, that was indicated by a black and white cross. [2]
