Zerrin Ruins affects creatures of a certain type. What is a valid creature type for An-Zerrin Ruins?
Anything following the word “Summon” on the card type is a valid type. Choosing “Rat” would affect Bog Rats, Pestilence Rats, and Plague Rats since they are all “Summon Rat” cards. Choosing “Spirit,” on the other hand, is not enough to affect Blinking Spirit since it is a “Summon Blinking Spirit” card and not a “Summon Spirit” card. Plurals of a creature type are also affected, so if you choose “Goblin,” neither “Summon Goblin” nor “Summon Goblins” cards would untap. Currently, the only exception to this general rule is that choosing “Legend” would affect both “Summon Legend” and “Summon Elder Dragon Legend” cards because “Summon Elder Dragon Legends” cards, through errata, are now referred to as “Summon Legend” cards. You can’t use other descriptive words with An-Zerrin Ruins–for example, colors of cards, special abilities, “artifact,” and “land”–because these aren’t summon types.
