Mirror entity+ Leonin Relic-Warder
Asked by bazaku 7 years ago
Can i use the Mirror Entity ability when Leonin Relic-Warder when he enters the battlefield so he gains the artifact creature tipe and so ativate his own ability (exile target artifact or enchantment) targeting itself and reactivating the ability in a combo?

Artifact is a card type, like Creature, Planeswalker, Instant, or Sorcery.
Each type has its own subtypes, and Mirror Entity grants all the subtypes underThe type Creature(goblin, warrior, dragon, coward, etc) to all creatures you control.
Also, you don't activate Leonin Relic-Warder's abilities. They are triggered abilities. Activated abilities are written as "Cost:Effect", while triggered abilities begin with "when", "whenever", or "at".

To add to the above, this interaction wouldn't work due to timing, either. Leonin Relic-Warder wouldn't be affected by Mirror Entity's ability unless it was on the battlefield already at the time the ability resolved. This would mean that Leonin Relic-Warder's ability wouldn't trigger, as Leonin Relic-Warder is not entering the battlefield (nor would it be an artifact).
Mirror Entity's ability only affects the creatures on the battlefield at the time it resolves, and artifact is not a creature type anyway.

To make it infinite by having the leonin exile himself, you need something like Mycosynth Lattice or Enchanted Evening. These cards don't need to be activated, so Leonin Relic-Warder is an artifact/enchantment when choosing targets (all activated abilities to turn him into an artifact/enchantment can't have been activated between the time he enters the battlefield and when he needs to name a target for his ability).

"Artifact" is not a creature type. Creature types are the subtypes located after the dash (-) in the type line. Examples include cat, beast, eldrazi, ally, warrior, etc.
Mirror Entity causes your creatures to gain all those subtypes.
