Lets say Im choosing a creature type for my Volraths Laboratory and Im inspired by Atinlay Igpay. Is its creature type Igpay or Pig?
This question actually caused quite a debate here in R&D. But I’m invoking the Power-of-the-Guy-Who-Has-To-Write-the-FAQ(TIWDAWCC) rule to choose my way. (This doesn’t work in real _Magic_ due to the existence of the Rules Team.) Atinlay Igpay, or Latin Pig in English, has the unique distinction of not existing in an English version. Nonetheless, _Magic_ rules are dictated by the English version of each card, even if such a card doesn’t exist. As it’s pretty clear that Latin Pig is a Pig in English, I’m ruling that the creature type for things such as Mistform Ultimus and Volrath’s Laboratory is Pig.
