Stalactite Dagger 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.
Official card text
When this Equipment enters, create a 1/1 colorless Shapeshifter creature token with changeling. (It's every creature type.) Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and is all creature types. Equip(
How it works : Stalactite Dagger
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If an effect causes a creature with changeling to lose all abilities, it will remain all creature types, even though it will no longer have changeling. This is because changeling applies before the effect that removes it.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Changeling is a characteristic-defining ability. It functions in all zones, not only while a card that has it is on the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If an effect causes a creature with changeling to become a new creature type, it will be only that new creature type (unless the effect says "in addition" or similar). It will still have changeling; the effect making it all creature types will simply be overwritten.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
The subtype Shapeshifter that appears on the type line is mostly there to reinforce the flavor. A creature card with changeling is just as much a Kithkin, a Goblin, a Merfolk, and a Brushwagg as it is a Shapeshifter.
