Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2014-11-07
The creature type each player chooses applies only to that player. For example, if another player chose Elf, you wouldn’t return Elf cards to your hand unless you also chose Elf (or if an Elf card in your graveyard also had the creature type you chose).
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
