What it does

Choose a creature type other than Wall. Each creature becomes that type until end of turn.

At that point, the wizards' argument got a lot uglier.

Provenance

Where it came from

Standardize was released in 2002 as part of the Onslaught expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set focused heavily on the mechanics of morph and tribal synergy, reflecting the military mobilization theme of the fictional Otarian continent. The card was designed to provide blue players with a tool for aggressive manipulation of creature types, allowing them to force opponents' boards into a singular, predictable state for tactical advantage.

The artwork for the card was created by illustrator Ben Thompson, a veteran artist for Wizards of the Coast. Thompson’s design employs a sharp, clinical aesthetic that emphasizes the transformation process, aligning with the card's mechanical intent to strip away individual creature identity. While it remained a niche utility card in competitive formats, it is frequently cited by players for its distinctive role in enabling complex combo interactions involving creature-type dependency.
