Rulings
- : When it turns into a creature, it is no longer an enchantment.
- : This card now uses the Reach keyword ability to enable the blocking of flying creatures. This works because a creature with flying can only be blocked by creatures with flying or reach.
- : The ability only triggers if the creature spell has flying, regardless of whether an effect would cause the creature to have flying once it entered.
- : 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.
