Creature is a card type.

Details

This card type was introduced in DM-01 and are the most important cards in the game.

Creatures are summoned into the battle zone by paying their mana cost, and are then used to attack your opponent's creatures, your opponent's shields, or even directly after breaking all of their shields in order to win the game.

You can only attack tapped creatures unless a card effect states otherwise.

To attack with a creature, you tap it and declare what it is attacking.

Each creature has its own power, and it dictates whether it will be able to win the battle or not if it battles another creature. It also has a race, which is vital to certain effects, and important for summoning most evolution creatures.

Creatures that have been summoned usually have summoning sickness and cannot attack in the same turn, with exception to evolution creatures, linked Gods, and creatures with Speed Attacker.

There is no limit to the number of creatures that you can have on your side of the battle zone.

List of Creature card types

Each card type has different conditions on being put into the battle zone and other rulings.
