What creature subtype does Ensoul Artifact give?
Asked by MinscAndBoo 9 years ago
Ensoul Artifact does not say what creature type (e.g., "Construct") it gives the enchanted artifact. Is this allowed? So if I put it on my Darksteel Citadel , it's an "Artifact Creature Land" with no subtype?
I ask because most easlier "animate" spells were errata'd at one point to give the subtype "Construct".

If it does not say that it grants a subtype, it doesn't grant one. It would just be an "Artifact Land Creature."

It's possible to have a creature without a creature type. Nameless Race inherently has no creature type, and Nameless Inversion removes creature types on the enchanted creature.

PS you all have good answers but I'm accepting GreatSword's since it clears up my misconception that the subtype was required
Wow, Nameless race really sucks ass though doesn't it?

Judging solely by the text on Ensoul Artifact , it doesn't give any subtypes. It is of course possible that the type was left out by mistake. Cards with errors sometimes get into print (e.g. Hypersonic Dragon ) which get oracled later. But it may as well have been intentional in this case. I think it is safe to assume that it grants no subtypes for now.
