"Today we're going to be discussing Magic: the Gathering the card game. Now we're going to go over the static ability, changeling. This is a very interesting and unique ability. Right here we have a Changeling Berserker. He is a 5/3 with the changeling and has haste. Changeling means that this card is every creature type at all times. The reason this is a very interesting ability is because you have cards that build up other types of cards. For instance we have the Timber Protector here. It's a Treefolk Warrior that gives other Treefolk creatures you control, 1/ 1. This creature is a Treefolk Warrior because he is every and all creature types all at the same time. So, he gets 1/ 1 making him a 6/4. And over here we have the Sunrise Sovereign. Other Giant creatures you control get 2/ 2 and have trample. So, what just happened there is this creature, which is a Treefolk Warrior and a Giant Warrior. Is not getting 1/ 1 from this card and 2/ 2 and trample from this card. Making this a 6/8 with trample and haste."
