General changes

Old rule (Masters Edition) New rule (Lorwyn)

Subtype

A card can have one or more subtypes printed on its type line. Subtypes are always single words and are listed after a long dash. Each word after the dash is a separate subtype. Artifacts, enchantments, and lands each have their own unique set of possible subtypes. Instants and sorceries share their lists of subtypes; these subtypes are called spell types. Creatures and tribals also share their lists of subtypes; these subtypes are called creature types. Objects may have multiple subtypes. If a card with multiple types has one or more subtypes, each subtype is correlated to its appropriate type. See rule 205.3, "Subtypes," and rule 212, "Type, Supertype, and Subtype."
