Rules
From the Comprehensive Rules:
- 205.3 Subtypes
- 205.3a A card can have one or more subtypes printed on its type line.
- 205.3b Subtypes are always single words and are listed after a long dash. Each word after the dash is a separate subtype.
- 205.3c Subtypes of a [type] object are also called [type] types. For example, creature subtypes are also called creature types. Objects may have multiple subtypes.
- Example: "Basic Land - Mountain" means the card is a land with the Mountain subtype. "Creature - Goblin Wizard" means the card is a creature with the subtypes Goblin and Wizard. "Artifact - Equipment" means the card is an artifact with the subtype Equipment.
- 205.3d Most card types each have their own unique set of possible subtypes. (You can find complete lists of subtypes in the glossary at the end of this document under "Creature Types," "Land Types," and so on.) However, instants and sorceries can share subtypes. Collectively, instant and sorcery subtypes are called spell types.
- 205.3e If an artifact creature card has subtypes printed on its type line, those subtypes are creature types. If an artifact land card has subtypes printed on its type line, those types are land types.
