Carte Magic Shields of Velis Vel

Shields of Velis Vel is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Changeling (This card is every creature type.) Creatures target player controls get +0/+1 and gain all creature types until end of turn.

How it works : Shields of Velis Vel

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    This cards was originally printed with the "tribal" card type. That card type has been replaced with "kindred". This change does not affect the gameplay function of this card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Kindred is a card type that allows noncreature cards to have creature types. For example, Echoes of Eternity is an Eldrazi (although not a creature) while on the battlefield and an Eldrazi card (although not a creature card) in zones other than the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    While it appears only on cards that already have other card types, kindred is a card type and will be counted by effects that refer to the number of card types among cards in a zone.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
