Are the Duskmourn Enduring Glimmers enchantments at the beginning?

Asked by vic 2 months ago

I know that Enduring Curiosity is only an enchantment and not a creature if it dies and then comes back. The text says so. But what about when you first play it? Is it only a creature then, or is it both? Basically, I want to know if I can Naturalize, etc. it at that time.

It starts out as both. Enduring Curiosity has both the Enchantment and Creature types printed on its type line, so it counts as both types everywhere unless some other effect specifically changes that. The reminder text of "(It's not a creature)" at the end of its last ability is there to clarify what happens when an effect sets an object to a certain type and doesn't say "in addition to its other types".

Rhadamanthus Thanks. I was leaning that way. What didn't click into my head immediately, but just now did as I read the card a day later is, "if it was a creature" being code for "if you didn't do this already". That's what really sends it home for me.
