Card Text

Exile target creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control. Create a 1/1 colorless Shapeshifter creature token with changeling. (It's every creature type.)

The subtype Shapeshifter that appears on the type line is mostly there to reinforce the flavor. A creature card with changeling is just as much a Kithkin, a Goblin, a Merfolk, and a Brushwagg as it is a Shapeshifter.

Wotc — November 17, 2025

If an effect causes a creature with changeling to become a new creature type, it will be only that new creature type (unless the effect says "in addition" or similar). It will still have changeling; the effect making it all creature types will simply be overwritten.

Wotc — November 17, 2025

If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.

Wotc — November 17, 2025

Changeling is a characteristic-defining ability. It functions in all zones, not only while a card that has it is on the battlefield.

Wotc — November 17, 2025

Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled creature will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.

Wotc — November 17, 2025

If an effect causes a creature with changeling to lose all abilities, it will remain all creature types, even though it will no longer have changeling. This is because changeling applies before the effect that removes it.
