Can I amass multiple targets by changing their creature type to "Army"?

Asked by SE336 4 years ago

So I just made a Varina, Lich Queen commander deck-Varina-Liliana Zombie Army Commander Deck that uses a lot of the new War of the Spark cards like Commence the Endgame or Relentless Advance to amass a Zombie Army token if I don't have one and then add the counters to it. My question is can I use Arcane Adaptation to name all my creatures to be the "Army" type and so for each "Amass" card add tokens to any creature I have then? If so do I have to put all the counters on one creature for every card effect that says "Amass" or can I distribute them however I like?

Yes, you're allowed to choose "Army" as a creature type for things like Arcane Adaptation , etc. As noted in the reminder text for the Amass ability, you just choose one Army to put counters on each time you amass ("Put X +1/+1 counters on an army you control").

Rhadamanthus Thanks for the help! Yeah I reread the reminder text like you said and it's pretty singular in how it's worded. Appreciate it!
